    3. Hi Anne! No, only one of the names has changed, Urskog to Aurskog. Idd is a parish in Østfold, in Halden kommune. Aremark is a parish in Akershus. Urskog = Aurskog in Akershus. Go here: http://www.hvor.no/kart.aspx Enter the names, you get some choices - pick 'kirke' for the first two, Aurskog-Høland for the last. You can zoom in and out with the buttons on the right. And I doubt Berg would be an abbreviation for Bergen. Berg is a pretty common farm name and may be a parish name as well. Olaf
