Looking for "Norwegian" families to be a part of
my next book

Publication Order Form

My name is Hans Olav Lokken, from Stjørdal in Trøndelag in Norway. I write history linked to my area here in Norway and also stories from America concerning people who emigrated from my district. Two of the stories I will be looking into are:  

1. The fire of Moose Lake, Kettle River - Minnesota in 1918.

2. The children's blizzard in January 1888.

  I am looking for "Norwegian" families who lost someone in one of these two tragedies, became a victim. The family must have their ancestors/family from my area here in Norway:  Stjordal, Hegra, Meraaker, Selbu, Tydal, Hommelvik, Malvik, Asen or Frosta. If you are in family or know such a family, please contact me by email: hans.olav.lokken@online.no - I will then contact the family in question, visit them in the future - do the interview, take pictures and put the family and/or you into a chapter in my next book possibly coming in November 2013.  If you have other stories, I would appreciate those too, but they must have a link to my catchment area. Thank you.

It is vital in all cultural life to maintain a link between the present and the past. If there is anything that history makes clear it is this, that when a people becomes interested in its past life, seeks to acquire knowledge in order to better understand itself, it always experiences an awakening in life.
