About me, Kristen Åkre...
I am a genealogist with a technical background. I have been doing genealogical research since 1991 as a secondary endeavour and now bring my knowledge, resources, and time to availability of the public. My areas of specific expertise are of Norwegian ancestry, in Norway, the US, and Canada. My experience includes researching in bygdbøker, church/parish records, census records, and other historical documents. I am proficient in reading, writing, and speaking Norwegian as well as reading comprehension of the Danish used in older documents. Although Norwegian ancestry is my primary focus, I can investigate other areas too—please just enquire.
