I you would like it, please sign up for the Norskland Forum on Facebook as well. Welcome!!

I don't use the same name as me on Facebook, I use my bird's name. He's traveling the world and blogging about it. I did search for the group and it doesn't apparently exist. I know this was an older post of yours. Is the group still up on Facebook?

Hi Jimmy, my father Øystein Stangeland, was born and grew up in Sandnes. I have visited this beautiful city on three occasions and it was a real thrill to walk where my father walked many years ago. You should definitely go to Sandnes, as you say, even if you can't make contact with Ida Egg, you will still feel her presence when you are there.

I have a good friend who is a genealogist who lives in Stavanger (not far from Sandnes). I will try to contact him and maybe he can help you in your search. When I find out something I will let you know.

Oh, and by the way, Welcome to the Norskland Forum! There are really nice people here!

Hello everyone! I'm Dave Teigland from Wyoming. My family came from the Oystese area and migrated to America in 1864. I still have relatives living on the original farm that my GG Grandpa grew up on, but they don't seem very intrested in knowing me. Thats ok it took me lots of research just to figure that much out! I would like to go visit the Oystese area some day, but I'm 50 years old and don't foresee it in my future! My GG Grandpa Lars Larsson Norheim was born on the Norheim farm in 1795. He then moved to the Teigland farm in about 1820 and started a family naming us Teigland. Our name originally was Saetveit my 7th Great Grandpa. Then it was Erdal my 5th Great Grandpa. Then Norheim, Then Teigland.  Greetings to all and glad to be here! Dave.
