See our website below to learn more of what we are about. Can I help you with your Valdres ancestors? Betty>> I haven't looked at it for a long time, but I have an aunt who did a very impressive matrilineal geneology for us several years ago. One of these days I'm going to get it out and take a look at it, maybe fill in some blanks, etc. No time right now. Right now I'm more interested in learning about the context in which they lived. Learning more about Valdres, etc. I have an email friend, who lives in Fagernes, with whom I have corredponded by email for almost ten years. He knows some of my distant relatives. I have the Samband location on my Favorite Places (websites), but I don't know if I have the geneology one. I'm going to go take a look at it and bookmark it. Thanks for your information! I know a little bit about my relatives here, so if anyone is looking for information on Haugsrud or Breien I might be able to help them. Thanks for your help. Barb
