NORWAY FAMILY



WELCOME...

LAST UPDATED 2-07

My father was born in Norway so I start right away in this beautiful country.
As a child I squirmed through the slides of a place I knew nothing about. Now I see a place where my family came from, a history, a connection. Now as I remember the slides and look at some of the pictures, I see a grandfather working on a farm, a grandmother baking, laughing with her children. I see so much more and appreciate and cherish the few pictures I have and the stories I have heard.
I hope you enjoy this site and maybe we are branches of a tree shared with the history of a spirit, of a country and belonging.
Enjoy your time spent here.


These are the people you will find here:
