Norwegian Genealogy

I'm not new to genealogy, but I am new to researching in Norway. Most recently my uncle passed away and I inherited a lot of data (and many wonderful old photos - all unamed of course) of his family. They came from Hitterdal, Norway (which I cannot find on a map) to North Dakota in 1903, then eventually to Canada. His name was John Olsen Simones (come Simmons) born 28 June 1881 and his wife Helga Larsdatter Skornes born 14 April 1899. I would like to find more data on his immigration. From where in Norway did they leave, and on what ship and date. But more important would be to find some family in Norway that might be interested in these old photos that are in mint condition. Any steerage and help would be very much appreciated. Donald M. Norrie, [email hidden] Donald M. Norrie Redwood Meadows, Alberta
