Hi, I have been a "lurker" on the list for some time, but this exchange moves me to take the plunge. 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.
