Nils Åkesson from Qviinge

[John Arthur Nelson Jr.]

Nils Akesson / Qviinge
 
Can anyone tell me about this location name:
Qviinge, Kristianstands lan, Skane, Sweden
1). Is Qviinge the same as Kviinge?
2). My earliest forbearer was from here. His name was Nils Akesson. All
I know was that he is decribed as a wealthy land owner in the 1700's.
3). His son (or grandson) lived in the same area. His name was Ake
Nilson married to Anna Sandberg. Anna died in 1860. Ake was a serf on
the manor of Vanas Slott. Ake had a son, Ola Ake Nelson, b Aug 29, 1855,
he imigrated to America in 1878 via Gothenburg->Copenhagen->New
York->Chicago.
If anyone could provide more information on my early family I would be
very grateful.
God Bless,
