Was he born in Oppland or More og Romsdal? Thus, I have not put anything in my family files for Paul (except for his 2 sisters. The way some are saying is that he was born in More og Romsdal, emigrated to Oppland, then emigrated up to Hammerfest, Finnmark. If this is right, then I know I can start doing mor research of his roots in More og Romsdal county. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Roy admitted he gave wrong information. Therefore all the work here on this list and on:http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.scan-balt.norway.counties.finnmark/155/mb.ashx So he has continually asked the same questions and has gotten the same answers. So had he done all his homework in the USA, then told everything he knew about whomever first came to America, then he perhaps would have had a better chance of being helped immediately. As you see, there are many of us who have tried to help Roy, not only on this Message Board, but on the Oppland Mailing List. Helge, who lives very close to Våga, Norway has been trying to help him on the Oppland List. LiOlsen (Litta) told him earlier that she was doing research on the same family and he should contact her. When we all work together around the world, we can help many with their research requests. Earlier on this message board, I was the one who replied to Roy about researching his family in the USA and giving ALL information when you make your original inquiry. DebGourley did not answer. She has logged into Ancestry on my computer and the computer for some reason chose her name rather then mine when I, Margit replied. Good Luck Roy on your quest and I hope Litta can fill you in with lots of information. Greetings from Flom, where the rain never stops.

Those on this and other lists do so quite frequently - helping others with data from various Norwegian sources - on the basis of much less. Roy and others like him seeking help from this or any other list are doing their best, and while suggestions for improvement are welcome, they shouldn't and need not be so delimiting or belittling that the inquirer becomes discouraged or dissuaded from seeking help. Regardless, it is simply not the case that one need gather all the info mentioned from local sources, before one seeks broader horizons. Likewise, the Norwegian seeking north American cousins can hardly be denied, if one or the other does not deem the background work to be adequate enough to merit or attempt a helpful response. Roy has every right to seek what he can, as he can, and those who can help, rather than discourage or belittle his effort might consider a more Bambi-like approach, so to speak. It is not temerity that drives the inquiries from those just starting, it is genuine interest, and should be treated with genuine respect. Suggestions for improvement, questions meant to help, etc., can well be directed back to the original inquiry, but they are not helpful when they merely set to establish what qualifies the inquiry, or inquirer - in so delimiting fashion that nobody, including those who take such a supremacist approach, ever really met or undertook themselves. If one does not deign to help, do not compound by throwing one's reluctance back on to the inquirer. Chill, rocket science it ain't.

If you look close at the Churchbook, you will see that the Christening date almost looks like 20 instead of 26. So therefore, it would be easy if someone was not aware of which date was which and would think that his birthdate was October 20, 1823.
