from usenet

Does anyone have a copy of the book that was made on the family farm names
for the town/area of Leka, Norway. I would like the information about my
family that is in this book, and would like to obtain a copy of this book if
possible.

My grandfather was Henrik Meyer Hartvikson, born in Leka, Norway.

Thanks,

RaeDel (Hartvickson)Hallock

"ask a librarian" exists in Denmark, UK and other countries by telephone and on line so why not Norway?

so lets try Google

site:no ask librarian

I don't know how to say that in Norwegian
but english words will find english language pages on norwegian sites

try the national library or a university close to the locality you are interested in - grab some maps if you don't know

good hunting

Llanvair Kilgeddin

Just found your family tree on Rootsweb and wondererd if you have any connections to my Joseph Watkins born in Llanvair Kilgeddin in 1840 baptised 18/10/1840 son of John Watkins and Elizabeth Johnson
Both his parents were not from Llanvair Kilgeddin but Llagarren Longrove Herefordshire, but i guess must have either known other watkins or had family living there hense having there son Joseph there,
best regards

Hello *****

Without looking at my notes or census first, I need to know occupations and addresses because in societies where patronymics from popular christian names are used, you identify people by nicknames mostly of occupation or address.

For example there may be many Jones Castle Farm, Jones the baker or Jones the post

When the welsh parish register images are on line in 2 or 3 years I hope you will help me transcribe and index them

from my email

every day I read or skim about 400 emails either to me, or on groups I subscribe to and answering publicly some of these, and writing about genealogy itself, is the theme of this blog.

That is in comparison with my MAIN BLOG (so far) GENEALOGE http://hughw36.blogspot.com/ which is my web log of what web sites interest me, I have visited, and of news about changes and developments in the industrial, archival, volunteer and hobby sites of interest to fellow genealogists, and librarians world wide.

Mostly each blog post is a quotation from another web site, or what librarians call an abstract, with a link to enable my readers to find out more for themselves. I try and comply with accepted "fair use" as regards copyright but my citations are not in academic style but links in fact worth gold in web ratings by search engines and the rest.

Because that is my main blog I include personal news and if unwell or off line or breaking my daily posting pattern on Usenet or in a forum or group, I aim to make one post in the main blog from a friend's, a library, an archive or a hospital computer.

My main image blog is photographs and walks http://snaps4.blogspot.com/ which is set up to accept images from my Sony Ericsson 800i videophone / mobile phone directly through the world wide 3G network

3g network - Google Search
3g network worldwide - Google Search


BTW the blogger / google spell checker does not know Ericsson
but suggests Erickson, Ericsson's, Ericson's, Eric's and Erickson's for Ericsson
Ericsson - Google Search: "about 127,000,000 hits"

checking my usages of words:-

about 13,400 for Sony Ericsson 800i "mobile phone"

about 1,430 for Sony Ericsson 800i "mobilephone".
about 1,260 for Sony Ericsson 800i "camera phone".
about 409 for Sony Ericsson 800i "video phone
about 30 for Sony Ericsson 800i "videophone"

and so I better drop the last expression videophone

after thought:-
about 31,300 hits for genealoge.
and that could be
genealogy. genealogies. genealogy's. according to the spell checker
or
(auch: Familienforscher) Genealogen befassen sich mit der Genealogie von Menschen.
