Helgheim Church, on Lake J\u00f8lster
Until she left Norway at about the age of eighteen, this was my grandmother\u2019s church, to which she and her family\u00a0\u00a0had to row a boat or, when possible, walk on ice. Most of the family names represented in the cemetery \u2014 e.g., \u00c5rdal, Ripe, Kj\u00f8snes, Myklebust, Svidal, S\u00f8gnesand, Lunde, and so forth \u2014 also appear in my family line. \u00a0(Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
