We would like to wish everyone a happy New Year for 2008!

Many thanks to all of you who have contributed to the Norway Heritage forums and web site in 2007, and by that helping to keep the site alive through it's tenth year on the web. Both Trond and I have had to stay more in the background through 2007 then the previous years. I also had to take some time away from active involvement on the site for a while, just monitoring in the background, due to some work and educational related projects. I hope to get more involved again when sumer comes.

We also want to thank all those who have been supporting the site by making their donations in 2007, and in that way helping us keeping it running. We are in the happy situation that we have received donations to keep it going for another year, so 2008 seams to be secured. You can se the names of our sponsors on the sponsor page

We hope you will all enjoy the site in the time ahead, and please let us know if you have any suggestions for improvenents or new material to add to the site. For those waiting for our long announced new database, you will only have to be patient, or should you not want to wait it is always a possibility to get involved with the transcriptions. Please feel free to contact Trond or me if you want more information.
