You say: 'Buskerud, Telemark and Oppland', and perhaps we may dig up some pictures for you, but could you possibly be a bit more exact?

Hi,
DeleteThanks for your amazing website about Norway! And thanks for visiting my blog.
Nes, is one of the places in Buskerud that keeps popping up in my ancestry. And Nord Aurdal is mentioned several times for Oppland in my ancestry as well. As far as Telemark goes, Seljord and Bo appear frequently. Is there an Aarmodt in Bo?
Thanks so much for stopping by! I really do appreciate it!
So thats what pages can do! I had no idea, I am loving browsing through your blog!
