Subject: IMPORTANT for Nes parish in Hallingdal.

Since the last 8 years Terje Østro have been working on the farm and family
books for Nes and Flå in Hallingdal. This is a great work and the work
seems to be never finished. Well, he hope to be soon.
There is still a lot of details that is needed to be sure of the
information given in the books are correct.

Since my time here on the list have been the last year or so there is many
families I have come over, many of you have written to me asking for help
and I have done the best I could. I will be doing that also in the future.
I have now more and more background in what I am doing and the time I need
to help most of you is limited because the books are written down and most
of the information I already have. Details about farms and names in
different periods can vary and this is the job I need time on.

I want to ask each and everyone of you to write me back and help me to find
family members from Nes and Flå parish in Hallingdal that immigrated into
USA and Canada. All this information will be handled over to the writer of
the "farm and family" books for these two parishes. Many of the families I
have got via direct contact and E-mail exchange. But it is just a small
part compare to all the ones that went over.

Please write me about ANY names and families you know of. Written
informations from books are also important. Or send me your information
about YOUR family to me and you can be sure it will be made available to
Terje Østro and will be in the books that are coming out. The books will
contain your information about your family and where they came from here in
Nes parish.

This need to be soon. The fast we get the information the more will be into
the books.

Hope to hear from you soon


Best regards
Steinar
