For my part, I've been pretty busy with other things lately, including some non-Norwegian genealogy. But I will be back soon with some questions -- I'm currently helping a friend with her Norwegian ancestry and there are some areas with which I am not familiar that I will need help.  (I have already gotten some offlist from Jim Wiborg, who has some of the bygdebøker I need -- tusen takk to Jim.)  I am also struggling off and on with a translation and will need some help with that.  It includes quoted language from earlier times. I have also tried to contribute to others (such as Lars) in areas where I have specific knowledge.  But others are often able to answer sooner than I get back to my email.

Hei, Lars. It looks like I stirred up a hornet's nest. "Where have all The Listers / A-Team gone?" That should have been my question. It is obvious to all, the work you have put into your volumes for the Luster community.  No disrespect intended. As for the answer to the above question, others have hit on it --- Facebook.  I've been there; joined several; and "unjoined" because to 'tone' was missing. As for me, I have had other matters far more important that need taking care of.  When the time comes, I'LL BE BACK.  (Not that I am going away.......)
