Hi, maybe some one can help help me on this question. Where is Bo I Vesteralen in Norway.
The webb hasn't been much help. Either it offers me a lot of material in Norweigan, which I don't speak a lick, or else, a lot of useless material.

Wally,
most of the written material in Norway is obvious written in Norwegian.
Here is

People writing in Norway Heritage is only trying to help.

Kaarota, I don't object to the Norweigan language. It is only that I can only speak English.
Since, my grandmother , Mathilda Sivertsen/Severson, came from there, I am interested in it.
By the way, is it on the same longitude as Alaska?

I understand Wally.
Bĝ municipality is on the same longitude as the northern part of Alaska, but because of the Golf stream the coast line in Norway has much less frost and snow during the winter than one could expect, but the North Atlantic winterstorms can be violent.
