Photos and Stories Wanted!
This website tries to tell the story of Thor, Gunil, and Lina Hegland - their ancestors and descendants - with stories and photos. It should be a great way for descendants around the country to share their "little piece" of the family story - and help us all get to know our Norwegian forefathers ... and foremothers!
If there are errors in the information provided here, send an email! If you can add some information or a photo or two, pass it along!
Just want to make a comment or say hello? Sign our guestbook!
