I plan on going to Norway end of June 2012.
My area is very near Jevnaker and would like to find a genealogist in that area?
Any must see sites in the area?

Consider making contact with the Hadeland Lag -

Perhaps someone who is a member of their local history/genealogical group could give recommendation about a professional genealogist.
