Our Roots&Relatives
Norwegian and North American genealogy pages

We have created this private and non-commercial family genealogy site to connect all persons in our family branches. Our objective is to enable all relatives to collaborate and to share and view genealogy data online, including individual information, photos, histories, documents, reports and cemeteries/headstones. The site contain information about living and deceased ancestors and relatives who contributed to who we are today. They have made possible the way we live, and we owe them our gratitude and an interest in truly understanding their life histories and experiences. Start exploring the site to follow your family history, including information about the family members who emigrated from Norway to North America.
