Hi Betty, Perhaps you would like to explain for those who are new to Norwegian genealogy just exactly what a Lag is and what Lags are available for the Oppland area to join? Also what they can do to help with research once they join? I am sure there are some who are wondering. :-) Thanks, Margit > > Carol, contact the genealogist for the Valdres Samband Lag, Be Gunnelson > at begun@uslink.net > > Betty
