Start by putting up some names and dates here...

Names, birth year and place of birth if you know could be enough to get started...

Recommend you start by clicking on Links on this site and go to General Geneology, Ancestors from Norway is a good place to start to learn about researching. You need to gather all the information you have here before you try to "cross the pond.
