I would think, if most genealogy enthusiasts were asked, a great majority want to make a trip back to the ancestral homeland. This kind of sharing is most definitely ON topic, and posts like mystery person "nospam"'s only serves to discourage others from feeling they can SHARE this useful information with the rest of us. Nospam should take a look at Cyndi's List ... one of the premier genealogy sites on the internet ... she has a whole category devoted to travel and genealogy. Wake up! I would hope anyone else who has similar experiences to share would feel free to do so without the threat of being chastised. I'll also ditto Dave's comments. :) "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected] > In article <BB0984AA.579E%[email protected]>, [email protected] (Margit) wrote: > > Margit's trip to Norway, parts 1, 2, and 3, do not seem appropriate > postings for the genealogy news group.

Next time I revise the rules of the list, I shall try to include such stories as relevant :-) (But we need perhaps some voting first)
