“I so appreciate all the effort of both you and Jerry 'borrowing' ÆTTARBOK for KVAM II ØYSTESE SOKN and then copying my family pages. It is so good seeing the originals and finding the portions of information that I'd only heard about. Brings all these people to life for me. And it is fascinating to learn more about them. Tusen ganger tusen takk for finding my ancestors for me.”
