In trying to track down information on the death of Kristain Larsen in Rygge, I find myself "in-extemis ." I found and signed up for a service by DIS-Norge called Slektsforskerbasen. I have a user password, etc but everything is in Norwegian, Somehow, I have become a research geneologist! Queries are coming from Australia, USA, etc. I don't even know what this service is!! I also found a <rootsweb.com> service calles NOR-OSTFOLD-L Archives (supported by Ancestory.com). This site looks very interesting with lots of nav bars to Rygge museum, Rygge church records, etc. The site is a mix of Norwegian and English. I have some complex instructions for navigating it, but my computer does not understand them.[8] A couple of other neat words such as "Slekshistorielag" have surfaced. Can anyone help me get off this shoal so I can continue my "voyage" - or should I just abandon ship? Also, if some kind soul could find me a good Norwegian-English, English-Norwegian dictionary and mail it to me, I would be most obliged and would send reimbursement. [:D] Med vennlig hilsen. Jim
