The above link will take you to the Brekke Tours website and it shows you the heritage tour I help with each year. Our 2017 tour is July 25th through August 6th.
Once the tour members sign up for this tour I then communicate with them and learn their ancestral history and ties to Norway that relate to the areas of our tour and then work on their ancestry by filling in exactly who their ancestors were and which areas they came from. The next step is to set up visits to these ancestral farms and to possibly connecting with relatives who still live in Norway. It is very exciting and I enjoy doing it. We have had some very emotional farm visits as the tour members set foot on the actual land their grandparents, great grandparents and others came from. Please let me know if you have any questions about how this all takes place. /contact-forum.html
The picture below is of two of our tour members on our 2010 Sogn/Voss/Valdres Heritage Tour. These 2 sisters were on their ancestral Meringi farm which is in the Raundalen (valley) in Voss, Hordaland, Norway. This was quite a ways up in the mountains and my dear Voss friend, Guro Dagestad drove us up to this place. We were very impressed by the drive up to the farm, by the old buildings on the farm and by all the beauty we saw as we stood on this location.
