[Norsk]       

Welcome to our English home-page.

We have made these English pages so it may be easier for non-Norwegian to read our genealogical pages.
Our hope is that someone may be helped to find ancestors from Norway.

Who we are:

Our names are Jofrid Nåden and Geir-Arne Helgeland (married name Helgeland for both of us).

Our children

1. Sven Martin Helgeland     - married Vibeke, daugther of Else Grannes and Helge Moen.
2. Alf Sigurd Helgeland         - married Anne, daugther of Liv Jane Andersen and Tor Njærheim.
3. Arnfrid Helgeland              - married Johannes, son of Judith Hommeland and Sigmund Bjelland.
4. Øyvind Helgeland               - married Mariann, daugther of Anne Brit Lurås and Knut Hagen.

We live in the town Bryne - municipal Time, County Rogaland, country Norway.
The nearest big town is the "oil-town" Stavanger.
Many people emigrated from Stavanger to America and other country.
There are many relatives in America, but we only know a few of them.
Maybe this side can help us to get in contact with more relatives?

I trust in: 2 Cor.12:9:

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 

The pages were made by Geir-Arne Helgeland, and remain as a memory of him.
