\"\"That time of year has rolled around again where I refocus my genealogical efforts from research to writing. Every November I choose an ancestor or ancestor couple as a writing subject. For Christmas, I distribute my finished product to my children and siblings and also to any interested cousins descended from that ancestor. I like this method of preserving and sharing my research.<\/p>\n

After my trip to Norway this summer, naturally I decided to write about Norwegian ancestors. My four Norwegian great-great-grandparents all lived in the same area of Nordland in the latter half of the 19th<\/sup> century, so I will prepare a compiled work on the four of them. I will include three items with the Christmas gift this year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Family group sheets for the Karen (1851-1916) and Nick (1854-1919) Bentsen family and for the Sivert Knudsen (1843-1907) and Martha Hansdatter (1841-1900) family,<\/li>\n
  2. My only photograph of Karen and Nick Bentsen, and<\/li>\n
  3. A character sketch I will write about the lives of these four people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Amazingly, I have collected quite a bit of information on these ancestors, even though Sivert and Martha never left Norway. Much of that is due to the tireless efforts of my husband\/tech advisor who has become quite an expert in navigating the online Norwegian archives.<\/p>\n

    He has a writing project of his own. He will share his expertise in Norwegian research in an upcoming guest blog post for Upfront with NGS, <\/em>the National Genealogical Society blog. <\/em>Stay tuned for the link when it appears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
