=== Found Norwegian Great+Grandparents because of the Wiki  ===
=== Found Norwegian Great-Grandparents because of the Wiki  ===


"I was 'messing' around tonight in the wiki and FOUND birth records and marriage records of my great-great-great grandparents in [[Norway]] and 4 of their children, including my great-great grandfather! I found the info by a simple search of Norway and following some of the page links they had! The records are all in Norwegian (which I cannot read---YET) but there is also a Norwegian to English guide...so I think that is going to lead me to the names of my great-great-great-great grandparents on two lines! The names are actually there I just need to learn the Norwegian genealogical words to know who is who! AMAZING stuff!" (This story was received from Monica in Colorado after I taught a webinar about using the Wiki, -Fran)
