tried Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK) online? You can look for a
volunteer in the country of choice such as Norway to see if there is
information there that might help, such as how the Scaninavian patronymic
worked, farm names, census and parish records, etc. I was helped a lot in my
family research by some kind volunteers in Norway. Their info helped me trace
my people here in the US. You can make donations to
RAOGK</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

awhile. Between computer problems (harddrive turning to toast) and the health of
the administrator very questionable ... RAOGK, after 11 years, will cease to
