Thank you all for your kind comments and valuable feedback! Good to hear that the webinar provided practical tips for searching in Norwegian archives, and that many of you found new methods to explore. It's encouraging to hear that even seasoned researchers learned something new, and that beginners found the content accessible and helpful. For those feeling a bit overwhelmed, I encourage you to revisit the handouts and recordings—take it one step at a time.
The speaker gave easy, detailed information to do searching. He obviously has met challenges and gave good advice to move quickly through them to us.
Very clear and easy to follow details - most helpful going forward. Thank you
Excellent information to help with research.
I learned a lot about Norwegian research and the way names can be spelled different.
Thank you for for telling us step by step and good/not so good results.
Great information for someone starting to research Norwegian ancestors
I only attended for general interest and not because I need to search in Norway. I found his presentation excellent! Great overview with just enough details. I would recommend Mr. Overlie to anyone researching in Norway.
