Map of the journey


Ivan and I will be visiting these places: Oslo, Bergen, Mo i Rana (way up north), Trondheim, Lund (in Sweden just north and a bit east of Malmö), and Copenhagen. In Mo i Rana, we'll be meeting and staying with the granddaughter of my maternal grandfather's brother. OK, rest a minute. If anyone knows what that relationship is called, please let me know! In another post, I'll describe my Norwegian ancestry and will, if I can, show some wonderful old photos. I have never been to Norway, so we're anticipating a good adventure. Of course, it goes without saying that we'll also be looking at/for birds everywhere we go.

  1. Hi, Nora. I think that you and the granddaughter of your grandfather's brother are second cousins. Does this match any other responses?
    Love, Martha

  2. I think that's correct, Martha. Thanks for the info. Sometimes, when trying to pin down the daughter of the mother of the son of the cousin, etc. one can get completely flummoxed! Second cousins it is!
