et startet med bestemors fortellinger fra gamle dager. På slutten av 80-tallet besøkte jeg Riksarkivet og snurret meg gjennom kirkebøker på mikrofilm – en tidkrevende prosess. Da informasjonen ble tilgjengelig på nett, blomstret hobbyen opp igjen og er nå en av mine store lidenskaper.
Jeg er fascinert av historiene som kommer frem, og mener det er viktig å kjenne sin egen historie. Derfor deler jeg det jeg har funnet med slekten på disse sidene.
Her finner du informasjon om mine forfedre og slektninger – alle som på en eller annen måte har en forbindelse til meg. Dette er et pågående arbeid som har vart i årevis. Informasjonen er i stor grad kildebelagt, men noen grener mangler fortsatt primærkilder.
Jeg søker alltid mer informasjon om slektsgrener. Nålevende personers data er kun tilgjengelig for registrerte brukere som er tilknyttet slektstreet. Ta gjerne kontakt hvis du har informasjon som kan være nyttig!
he bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors ere able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those who we had never known before.
