I was born an Anderson then adopted by a Monsen. My birth father was an Opsal. So now I’m Norval Monsen and named my daughter Berit. Always thought that was a lonely name. Expect to visit Norway this summer.

In Norway grandparents are called ‘besteforeldre’ and the parents are called ‘far’ for father and ‘mor’ for mother, which means that grandfather is called ‘bestefar’ and grandmother is called ‘bestemor’.
