 I have to congradulate this site for the help its members give, i started searching for my lost relatives in Norway about 10years ago and with the improvement on the site and the members who helped me i have just collated everything i learned here with great success, it was difficult what , with the different spelling of names and also one of my main relatives actually changed his name , but with the help of the members we worked out what had happened
thank you all Harold Petersen

You are welcome Harold.
Did Olaf learned to speak Scottish with the rolling Rs
I was in Scotland several times in the -60s as seaman.
The Scots are wondeful people and the scenery inland is quite similar to Norway.
When I hear the bagpipes playing I get schills down my spine, it`s so beautiful to listen to LINK

Hi Kari,
He met a girl in Stornoway, and married on the 8-2-1888, i am pointing out the date because it loks like a birthday wedding as Olafs Birthdate is 7-2-1857, as he was a seaman he travelled the world, so his English was not too good and one of his sons had the name Donald, but Olaf could not pronounce it and called him Dan, he died in 1926 , a good but hard life by the looks of it |
