There are many who have created the Norwegian websites of my dreams, or at least have created lists of links that are invaluable to the researchers of Norwegian roots.

I have given up organizing my own research site bookmarks and have merely bookmarked my favorite linkpages which cover them all anyway.

The Way to Skallevold and the Beach

Det Rød Hus: Viggo Holmstedt and Judith Stangebye: The Red House and "Lillepus" in Horten: This site depicts the historic Red House in Horten, as well as, Judith and Viggo's wonderful new children’s computer program: Lillepus I Det Rød Hus or Little Kitty in the Red House. Best cat pictures on the internet! This kitty is sure to be famous. This site is in Norwegian.

Høgskolen i Vestfold Lokalhistoriske tekster: Here you will find Vestfold local history papers on line from the Vestfold College. This site is in Norwegian.

Ketil Firing Hansen’s Vestfold Slekt: Ketil’s Vestfold genealogy research site with links to Norwegian homepages, many in Vestfold, and related links to Vestfold research. This is where you need to start for your research in Vestfold. Please especially admire his astounding on-line, searchable Nøtterøy Bygdebok. This site is in Norwegian.

Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum: Website of the museum dedicated to preserving our Norwegian American heritage.

Vesterheim Genealogical Center and Naeseth Library: An adjunct of the above museum, dedicated to Norwegian American genealogical research, offering many services and research materials.

Karla Halsan Mattila’s Norway List Website: A place of many resources and where you can subscribe to the Norway List Digest. This is a very active group of Norwegians and Norwegian Americans who are researching their ancestors, sharing their findings and helping others in their research, as well as, discussing cultural topics.

Linda Schwartz’s GenNorway Page: Another site full of helpful links and resources for the researcher. See the Surname and Farm lists links and the volunteer look up site.

John Føllesdal’s Ancestors from Norway: A site with many links, as well as, help with how and where to research your Norwegian ancestors. A virtual short course on Norway and Norwegian genealogical research.

The Strøm Family History Page: The Strøm Family History Page: A very nice family homepage and family history section. It includes a lot of information about Vestfold County. There are maps and history of Vestfold to be found here.

Gunalf Bækkeli’s Homepage: Beautiful pictures of Gran in Oppland- frequently updated. It is one of my favorite sites to visit when I need to see beautiful pictures of Norway to brighten my day.This site is in Norwegian.

Husfliden: Husfliden's Homepage...take time to explore this whole site about the Norwegian national costume.

St. Olaf College Norwegian Department : Just in case you want to improve yourself.


Sunnmøre Ships
The Sunnmøre Ships

Among the Norwegian artists and writers I admire, the wood carver, Henning Engelsen has to be the one that caught my imagination first. A small, carved wooden troll I bought in Horten as a child more than 30 years ago grew up with me, reminding me always of a magical place so different than home.

I later discovered the wonderful drawings and paintings of Theodor Kittelsen, Kjell E. Midthun, Eva Harr, Wenche Kildahl, J.C. Dahl, and of course, Gustav Vigeland and so many other artists- I can't begin to talk about them all here. But, here are two old and faded favorite Hennings out for a stroll in the woods:
