Hi Randi, sorry you are having trouble. I just checked and all the links work for me. Perhaps it may have just been a temporary issue, so please do try again. If it still doesn’t work for you, please let me know which link you are having trouble with. Thanks!
Hi i am from pakistan and i want to live lofoten forever with my son and wife is it possible to get house and permission to live my life there easily?
My Great grand father Alfred Sterup Johnson , and his brother left the Loften
islands in ca 1886 . And moved to Minn
then Portland. He and his wife are buried
in the rose City Park cemetery , less than
a mile from where I now live. Think he died
in the 1930’s They were swedish Lutherian’s , He was a very happy chap loved his family. was a miner in Minnesota
Wish I had known him, He and his brother
came to the US to improve their lives. His brother became a rabbit farmer. So they were both successful….
