LIV BIRGIT CHRISTENSEN LIVE
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2018
Liv is the president of the organization “Friends of the Local/Baerum Library”. They work to make the politicians uphold and increase the library services in the municipality with 125,000 inhabitants. She says about travelling in Norway, “I always try to visit the local libraries and archives. In the ‘hunt’ for new knowledge from the archives, I have found much new material to include in my research, which gives the research a richer story.”
Not only does Liv speak Norwegian, English, German, and some French, she also understands Danish and Swedish. From 1968-1969, she lived stateside, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Horrible speaker. She has no knowledge in Norwegian Genealogy. Not worth the effort.
Elsie, a great Norwegian speaker is Deanna Dowell in Bremerton. She’s DON Pres. and SONS Pres. Deanna also has family village books too.
I’ve not heard Jill Morelli, but I’ve attended others by her. I love her presentations.
