We recently moved to Norway and chose to live in Fredrikstad (instead of Bergen where my family is from). I’m looking forward to more updates about this incredible discovery. Keeping my fingers crossed that it can be fully excavated.

I am very excited by the find. I visited relatives in Hoidolsvein in May. What a thrill to discover the heritage of my family. Joel Hidahl Forestville Ca.

Sadly too little of our Norwegian past has been saved in artifacts and writings.
I am currently staying in Germany where often Churches, restaurants and other
locations, are dated back hundreds if not a thousand years. My home is in
Kristiansand on the south coast of Norway. Not only has most remains from
Viking times, not been preserved, but even home and buildings dated just a few
hundred years back are being destroyed. A big attraction for tourists has been
a section of the old part of town, slowly been allowed to be torn down, replaced
by ugly concrete buildings. Shame on the city planners .
