To get started, post a query on the web site's surname or farm/parish bulletin boards. This is similar to Viking's "Lost Branch" (see the "[[Norway Societies|Societies]]" section). The bulletin boards are a forum for questions about specific family members or branches of the family. You might also search the site's online census records. | To get started, post a query on the web site's surname or farm/parish bulletin boards.
