to my home page
I am interested in
genealogy and have geared my page with this in mind. I
have also included some information about myself, my
favourite genealogy software, and a few of my interests
outside of genealogy.

Some words
about myself.
I am 57 years old, and work as a systemengineer. I was
born and raised in Bergen. It is
the second biggest city in Norway, located on the west
coast in Hordaland county, Norway.
My hobby takes me out to sea several weekends of the
year. When home I enjoy taking fishing trips on my boat.
Here is a picture from my cottage.
Genealogy
I have used Brother's Keeper for sometime now, to keep my
data in order. I started with the Dos version, but
switched to the Windows version after its release.
Brother's Keeper is one of the most popular genealogy
software programs in Norway. One reason for this is that
the program is translated into Norwegian. This was
possible through the work done by Otto Jørgensen. You
can find his homepage
here. There is also a Norwegian homepage
for Brother's Keeper. John Steed created the Brother's
Keeper software. You can find John's homepage in the
United States here.
Brother's Keeper is a shareware program, which means you
can try it before you buy. I think the price is $49 U.S.
The program can be downloaded from the Norwegian homepage
or from John Steed's homepage in the United States.
If you like, you can visit DiS
Norge. DiS Norge stands for Data i
Slektsforskning Norway, a Norwegian computer genealogy
club.
Would you like to check my Ancestors page, in which Places they lived or a part of my (+4000
persons) Family
tree? This is mostly in Norwegian but don't
let that scare you, if you have any questions, please e-mail me.
I have found most of the information about my family in
different bygdebøker(village history books) from my area
of Norway .
I have many relatives in USA, but I have not started to
locate them yet.
