What People Say About Us

I have been trying to research our Norwegian relatives for my family over the past year and found it extremely difficult to do on my own not understanding Norwegian or knowing where to find the information. I was lucky to find Liv on a professional genealogy website. When searching for a genealogist, I found Liv was highly recommended by many of her colleagues. Working with her I found her to be a true professional genealogist, researcher and very hard working. She has uncovered information and facts on our family that we could have never found. I would highly recommend Liv to anyone who wants to explore their Norwegian ancestry. Liv has given us a gift that will last generations. Thank you Liv!

“The result of her work was presented in a very clear and user-friendly way, with an overview of ancestral lines as well as detailed information about each person. Her work comes across as solid and very professional. I can, without hesitation, recommend Liv Marit as an expert in genealogy.”
