This is Gard Strom and Kaia Knutson. Kaia is the longtime secretary at the Norwegian church in Minneapolis, Mindekirken. Gard has done the genealogical research on all the farms from Gamle Gjerpen near Skien Norway. I found his website from doing a search for my ancestors. He offered to take us around Gjerpen and show us the farms we wanted to see. He gave us a fantastic history lesson of the area. Here's a link to his website. http://gamlegjerpen.no/index.htm
