To better understand research in Norway, you should read Neil's "Newbie
Notes" and John Follesdal's "Ancestors from Norway" both accessible from the
Norwaylist website at: <A HREF="http://members.tdn.com/dagwood/NorwayList.htm">http://members.tdn.com/dagwood/NorwayList.htm</A>;
It is pretty rare to search by surname in any Scandinavian country. Everyone
was someone's son or daughter - for instance, if Harriet was a Norwegian
name, and her father was Ole, she would have been Harriet Olsdatter - to
daughter of Ole.
