Welcome to Our Family Heritage Website
This site is dedicated to everyone with roots in our family – whether you’re living in Norway, the United States, Canada, or elsewhere.
Our ancestors came from the area around Fetsund and Oslo, a region shaped by forests, rivers, and hardworking people. Many of them lived on small farms and made a living through agriculture. As part of daily life, even the children helped out on the farm – and during spring and early summer, many also worked in the timber floating industry, moving logs down the Glomma River and into Lake Øyeren.
These were strong, humble, and family-oriented people. They passed down stories, values, and a quiet pride in honest work – something we hope to preserve and share here.
Our goal is to collect family stories, photos, documents, and memories to keep our heritage alive. If you think you might be connected to our family – or just want to learn more – we’d love to hear from you.
