[Gjest Robert Gruchala]

My great-grandmother Margit Olsdatter was born on April 24, 1855,in Al in the valley of Hallingdal. She married Oluf (Tangen) Olsen (Olsson) from Skane, Sweden. They were married January 30, 1882. She was buried in Honefoss, Norway They are both in the register of the Hrag Church near Honefoss. Other words I have been sent are Norderhov, Hole, Snaketangen, Norske Gaardnavne on nordfiorden.I would greatly appreciate any help locating Olaf Olsen's birth place in Sweden.I'm not very good with computers, so please excuse any mistakes.Respectfully,Robert J.

My sincerest thanks to Ron Berg-Iverson of Surrey, British Columbia, Arild Oliver Brathen of Fredrikstad, and Jon Erik Berg-Hansen of Horten for all their help. Finally, I am searching in Sweden. My aunt who started researching would be so happy. Unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago. Again, many thanks.Robert Gruchala, Minto, ND, USA
