Cliff, I came across the history book Gardar og Slekter i Fron, by the same author. I got in touch with my local library and through the library lending program was able to obtain the book for review through a college in Decorah, Iowa. Unfortunately, I understand no Norwegian either old or new and the book was worthless to me. Fortunately, I was able to locate a contact who had a contact in Norway and who did a rough translation from which I was able to extend my research through the Family History Library Catalog (IGI) and the various census records for Norway in the digitalarkivet -- 1801, 1865, 1875 and 1900. I also have learned that this mailing list has many outstanding volunteers who will help you with your research.
