Hello,
Grue Church in North Dakota, USA, was founded in 1878 by young pioneers - most from Solor. Last week was closed, but I want to intercept to prevent it from being burned down. I want to write an article for newspapers to inspire feelings for the church, and .am looking for someone who can tell me about ANY interaction between the Grue Church in Kirkenaer and the Grue Church in North Dakota. I want to mention groups from Norway who have visited the North Dakota Church or visitors from US who have visited Norway's Grue. Is there any hint that Grue in Norway may have sent a bell or tower for the new church? Or the ministers wrote to each other? Did anyone from North Dakota return to Norway in 1914 for anniversary of 1814? I understand there were many from US who returned for a visit that year. If you do not know, perhaps you can connect me to someone who does know - a church historian? Thank you very much, Sally Hoffman. There is another Grue Church over in Minnesota also.
