With the number of people sporting Kvamsdal as a last name you'd think it would appear in US records more frequently. Here are the leaving through Bergen of Ingeborg and probably brothers Ole and Kaspar Lauritz:
Brother Kaspar lauritz came to US in 1927:
102902
Bergen 1006 1927 April 29 Kaspar Lauritz Kvamsdal m ug Gårdbruker 1895 Masfjorden Masfjorden Forest City Iowa USA Nei A) Farming U.S.L. Pass
Probable brother Ole Johanneson b 1893:
69191
Bergen 1497 1910 April 16 Ole Joh Johannessen Kvamsdal m ug Gårdsarb 1893 17 Masfjorden Masfjorden Skal til kjendte Nei a (bedre fortj) Farmarb Skal til kjendte Canadian Pacific
Sister Ingeborg to US in 1911:
71970
Bergen 1068 1911 April 10 Ingeborg Johannesdtr Kvamsdal f ug Tjenestepike 1891 20 Masfjorden Masfjorden Amk Rake Iowa Nei a (bedre livsvilkaar) Husarb Reiser til familie Cunard

No, it is hard to tell from the book. This farm was however a cottager's place under main farm #3 at Kvamsdal. The farm name in masfjordboka is Boshougen or Baatshougen. Could translate approximately to "Pile of rubbish" or "Boat Hill"!
Most likely a small place where people were struggeling to get by. Magnus Kvamsdal's daughter may have stayed there. |

View of Kvamsdal.
Kvamsdal means a short valley surrounded by height on one side and open on the other side.
Kvamsdal farm nr 1-2-3 are probably the farms in the background, link

Still exist, present Eikemosætra.
Must be somewhat isolated, often mentioned in connection with nature walks.
Cant find a picture/photo after a quick search of the farm, only the weather forecast.
