Journalists in Bergens Tidende, Norway, would like to meet relatives of immigrants from Kvinnherad/Hardanger/Sunnhordland who live in Montana today.
We will stay in Montana from Sept 26th until October 4th.

Best regards
Eva Røyrane

You might contact the Sons of Norway organization and ask them for help. They have chapters which meet in various parts of Montana and surrounding area.
