Biography
I have much to thank Annlaug Islandsmoen and Ola Grondalen who gave me extensive information on the Norwegian side of my tree. They are both distant relatives and Norwegian genealogists as well. I am slowly building my Wikitree profiles. For Norwegians I have been looking up the images of christening and marriages on the Norwegian Archives which are online for free for original source material. Other church record images are available there as well. Some of the Norwegian profiles have already been created. In that case I add the sources from Norwegian archives. Other branches in my family tree have roots in colonial US, England, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, the Netherlands, and some unknown. I am slowly working on adding these profiles. Some of the lines have connected to the wider Wikitree.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
