Margrete Johnsdatter, 1766- 1827 Pålen, Troms

Great information and links. Tak ska du ha!

I am using the digital archives, and am getting better at it, but it still takes me a long time to find things. I wish the family had continued to use some Norwegian. it would probably be a little easier if I knew the language.

I am given to ...

May I inquire a bit further? Is the name of the other daughter available? Is there an indication of the family's ethnicity? Is the source of the information that you found available digitally so that I may look further or obtain a screen shot as documentation?
