Editor's Note:

I moved the Norwegian photos to the Norwegian genealogy blogspot so that you don't get confused about who is Swedish and who is Norwegian! Have you heard the saying I used to hear from my Norwegian father: "Ten thousand Swedes run through the weeds chased by one Norwegian!"

This is the link to the Norwegian blogspot that has a lot of new photos and the history of Hallingdal: http://norwegiangenealogy.blogspot.com/

Cynthia-Genealogy Journal blogspot is about my mother's Southern family beginning with the Swedes: Peter Gunnarson Rambo and Britta Mattsdotter - and following the line through their daughter, Gertrude Rambo, who married Anders Bengtsson.
