Norwegians transmigrated through the UK between ca. 1865-1915. Some might have stayed back in UK, some might have come to UK as sailors or of other reasons. Where should you start to trace them in some UK sources? How could you find them in Norway? We will look at the Norwegian Digital Archives and a few other websites, where you can do research for free. http://www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.com/speaker/liv-marit-haakenstad
