Barb notes that she has an email pal in Fagernes. Barb, do you think that your friend might be willing to see if anyone else in the area would be willing to correspond with email pals from the Samband? I would love to write to someone from that area to find out more about it. Gigi Severson Burke, descendant of Jens Halvorsson (Strand) (Follinglo) and Astrid Olesdottir Klevgard, who migrated to Wisconsin in c. 1854. >> Gigi: I'll ask him. Just at Christmas he wrote me a snail mail letter, with his card, to tell me that he's moved. I think his new address is Skien, but he didn't put it in his letter and I'll have to email him and get him to give me the new one. Then I'll ask him if he knows anyone. He's attending University now (his wife is a nurse and they have two daughters, one a teen, one in college) so should know some folks who use computers! Barb
