@helenboll – here’s a link to information about the Swede in my ancestry:

My Norwegian ancestors were from Fresvik and Laerdal on the Sogn fjiord, the area around Stavanger on the coast and Roa, which is about 60 km north of Oslo.  I have been to all these places except Stavanger.  I can say that Norway is the only place I have been that was more impressive than I had imagined.  ADHD imagined.  😉

When I was in Oslo at a store looking at sweaters to buy, a young sales girl came up and started chattering away in Norwegian.  (With blonde hair and green eyes, I suppose I look more Norwegian than my mother who has dark brown hair and brown eyes.)  I looked at the girl and with a thick Texas accent said, “I’m from Texas.”  She blushed and quickly returned with someone who spoke English.  It was pretty funny.
