Hei BJørn! Siden du har så mange spørsmål, anbefaler jeg deg en tur på riksarkivet. Her finner du kirkebøkene for hele landet, og også folk i ekspedisjonen som kan hjelpe deg når du står fast. Dersom åpningstidene på Riksarkivet ikke passer, har Deichman en god del bygdebøker. Dette finner du også på Nasjonalbiblioteket i Drammensveien. Lykke til! Laila

I'm looking for my husband's ancestry. His grandmother's name was Carolina Berthina Olava Belgum, and she was born in Nord Aurveldres, Norway about April 1877. She had a sister Johanna born about 1875 in Christiana. Their mother died in the black diphtheria epidemic; and the family was prohibited from attending the funeral due to it being so contagious. The father took the 2 daughters to relatives, and was never heard from again. (He was Swedish). The relatives raised the daughters. Johanna came to America and worked for a while; then sent money or a ticket for Carolina to come to America. Carolina married Peter Svartaas (Swartos) in 1895. He died in 1925; Carolina died in 1957. I would like to find Carolina's ancestry. Thank you for any help you can give.Eunice BullisI'm sorry that I don't speak Norwegian, so hope I've gotten this in the right forum!!
