How to lessons for reading Gothic Writing and tracing your Norwegian ancestry.
Norway's Digital Archives site is a great source for those researching their Norwegian ancestry. It is easily navigated and has some wonderful resources. The site can be viewed in the language of your preference, Norwegian or English. If there are some of the pages that are only in Norwegian, you can always use the GramTrans, translation website that I discussed on this blog.
