Hi how are all of you doing. Well my name is Mark Peterson but my families original name was Pederson. I am third generation born in the USA and I am trying to figure out how to go about trying to find out where in Norway my family is originally from. My father never cared why we left Norway but I would like to find out where we are from and if we had clans and coats of arms and all. I don't know I've been trying to find out about Norway online but not having much success mostly cause I have no clue what to look for online. Well if anyone has any idea where I could or should begin I would appreciate the advice. Thank You.

Mark
