Thanks to the many volunteers of the Norway Heritage Community I have found out much information about my g-father, Jens Olsen Tang (farm name)), born in Hafslo (28 Apr 1862).

I especially want to thank Kċre (Kċarto ), Einar (ibache), Hopkins, and jlmarler who provided an amazing amount of valuable information about my g-father and his family in Norway. I also want to very much thank JaneC (USA) for all her contributions and moral support. I appreciated the patience you all showed me as I tried to learn how to make use of the many resources and ask better questions.

There have been some 67 replies since I began this thread. Because of your efforts I now have many possible paths of inquiry to possibility follow-up. I believe the current thread has already become too complicated for all to deal with. For that I apologize. In order to better focus on specific questions that have come up I think it best to open up new threads. I would link to the current thread , and I would try to provide as much known information as possible to minimize redoing research. I believe I finally figured out how to include links with a context name.

I would appreciate any thoughts or advice about how best to continue and/or how I can help to make your efforts to help me a bit easier.

Again, I want to thank all the dedicated volunteers of the Norway Heritage Community for their time and excellent research to help those of us who are trying to find information about our Norwegian roots. You are all the greatest.
