My ancestral farms Alnes and Stigersand are nearby. The Skibladner salutes these farms as is passes. They were former stopping places for boats up and down Mjøsa. Rental rooms were available. Alfred Paulson wrote “Norge met Norge” at Alnes. Kirsten Flagstad has roots in the Alnes clan. It is great to be able to rent a room at the hospital in Feiring. I also have roots at the Smeby farm in Toten and a log cabin of my ancestors was moved to the mountains. Per Otto Flesvig helped me find it. I have a Toten men’s bunad. Josh Groban, a cousin, has roots in Toten Ha det. So proud to be a Norwegian-American.
