I'm Sue and relocated from SF bay area over 10 yrs. ago and since I'm retired have finally become interested in my family geneology. My parents were born in the mid-west and their families had emmigrated from Norway and Germany in the early 1900's. My maternal side is Norwegian, paternal is German, but since I never knew my grandparents, it has been really interesting to learn about their past. I finally found out their REAL names which helped in searches, and since I grew up with parents raised during the Great Depression, I'm more interested in learning how things have changed since I was born. I hope to read some "honest" reports on this forum about Norway, not just the tourist attraction type of stuff. Hilsen
