In compiling this new edition of our family's geneology, I have made use of the opening paragraghs, and the historical facts involving certain ancestors, which were written by Rudolf Kvelve for the first geneological publication.
"Turning the pages of history back to the Viking days, we find that Norway was ruled by petty kings and jarls and and that the people were united only by common traditions, culture, and a language that varied slightly in different localities. One of the mightiest of the kings was Harald Frid-Moeller (850-933 A.D.), who first consolidated these petty kingdoms into a united nation. His successors introduced Christianity and shaped an heroic period in Norway's history which ended in the late 14th century with the union of the Scandinavian countries under the rule of Queen Margarete of Denmark.
