Arriving a little late to the party, but fortunately there is still more fun to have. And a lot of work to do. My novel work was done many years ago which uncovered our Swedish branch (Bäckström) in Haparanda / Nederkalix. Apart from that, local history and genealogy books have provided the necessary information, mainly. Our residence is in Bodø, Nordland. Our paternal family stems from Norrbotten (Sweden), and from Fauske / Valnesfjord, and Sørfold. Our maternal family mainly comes from Harstad and Lofoten / Vesterålen, then branches southward to Trøndelag, Lillehammer and Voss. My in-laws will mainly be from Helgeland and Trøndelag. Our children will find their family also in Lofoten/Vesterålen and in Sortland. For one of us even a huge branch resides in Hedmark/Oppland. Basically, we are everywhere, then. Fell free to share any hints/news or interesting stories. Regards, Carl B.
