Posted on: Polk County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk?read=228 Surname: Lien, Lee ------------------------- Hi! I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction, but I wanted to say that my ancestors from Norway changed their last name from Lien to Lee. There are several Lien farms in Norway. The one where my ancestors came from was in Vang, Valdres region, Oppland County, Norway. If you want to look up farm names by county, see this web site: http://dina.uio.no/rygh_ng/rygh_form.html The web site is tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it, it is useful. Here is a great Norwegian research site that you might have found already, but here it is: http://www.hist.uib.no/arkivverket/index-en.htm This is another tricky web site to utilize, but it contains an incredible amount of helpful data. Good luck to you!
