I have visited this church several times before. This year we took the time to go through the museum and study the history.

speech about Norwegian genealogy for a group in Washington state. We used Skype. It was my first time, but it was interesting and fun and I might do that again if the opportunity comes around.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We had a nice Christmas and New Year celebration with the family. Last night I took the picture that is at the top of this post from our deck.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the year I have had the pleasure of communicating with a lot of genealogists from several parts of the world. I hope this will continue in the coming year. I learn a lot from helping others. Never hesitate to contact me. I will, to the best of my knowledge, try to help you.<\/p>\n<p>I intend to continue blogging pretty much in the same manner as I have done this far. If you have ideas for things I should write about, I am happy to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>I just realised that I in 2018 have 20 years blogiversity. In 1998 I started up a small website at GeoCities called &#8220;Martin&#8217;s Magazine&#8221;. I did have some content about genealogy, but I also shared music and recipes and other information relating to Norway. You can find remnants of this website by going to &#8220;Old magazine&#8221; in the menu.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will continue to visit my blog. I am always happy if you comment or share the content.
