Norwegian Ancestry is the working title of our project. Our goal is to write a how-to book in English about Norwegian genealogy research. We will use elements from two of my previous books, published in Norwegian - Slektsgransking. Steg for steg med praktiske eksempler (Genealogy. Step by step with practical examples, Aschehoug 2010) and Slektsgranskerens guide til utvandringen 1825-1930 (The Genealogist's Guide to Emigration 1825-1930, Orion 2008).

Liv Marit Haakenstad received a grant from NFF to write the book. We are, however, still in need of funding for the translation from Norwegian to English, even though the book already has willing publishers in the United States.  Please see our Donation Thermometer in order to contribute towards the translation.

Testimonial

I am so pleased at the professional job I received with Liv.  I would highly recommend her to anyone considering her as an expert.  She did a quality job from beginning to end and I will certainly request her should I need further research.  She was very prompt with her research considering the very limited amount of background information that I was able to provide.  I have been researching for quite some time with no results, after Liv pointed me in the right direction, I was able to find so much information.  Thank you so much for helping me find my Norwegian ancestors.  I am looking forward to your English how-to book on Norwegian ancestry.  Steve Torkelson, Minnesota USA
