I would love some info on the area and would like to know if I still may have some relitives in Tinn. Would love some pictures of the Forli farm area too if possible.
Thanks

Tinn is an area in northern Telemark. Although the spellings used by 'plehne' are not perfect matches to what will be found there in many cases.
The Telelaget forum has a number of regular posters on their message boards who have ancestry from Tinn and seem to have a fairly large collection of resources for the area - searching for living relatives might be great fun for them.
