Could any recommend a professional genealogist who specializes in Norway - Ostfold area?

I think I may need a little more help researching my family name then what I can do. And I might need someone living in that area that could do some footwork for me.

Thanks, Jodi

Professional researchers can be quite expensive. As we all know, research is very time consuming even when one has alot of information. You can check on Cyndislist.com for sources. There is a bydelag for Ostfold, they may be able to help you (as a member) which is alot cheaper than hiring a professional:
