(Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 209: At Norway's Riksarchivet

 I am posting photographs from my family collections for (Not So) Wordless Wednesday (you know me, I can't go wordless!).    

Here is a picture from our recent Royal Caribbean cruise (Norway-France-Ireland-England-Scotland-Norway):



On 11 May 2012, Linda and I enjoyed an Oslo tour day with Torill Johnsen, who is a Norwegian genealogy blogger (see http://www.disnorge.no/cms/lederblogg/geneablogger-p-bes-k).  

We visited the Riksarkivet in Oslo, the National Archives of Norway.  In the book area, Torill quickly found the Voss bygdebok (farm book) and she and Linda posed for this picture.  I had, of course, extracted a great deal of information about Linda's Norwegian roots from the Voss bygdebok back in 1999 using microfilm at the San Diego Family History Center (it's still there on permanent loan, I hope!).

This visit with Torill got our European vacation off to a great start!
