Have you  tried Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK) online? You 
can look for a  volunteer in the country of choice such as Norway to see if 
there is  information there that might help, such as how the Scaninavian 
patronymic  worked, farm names, census and parish records, etc. I was helped a 
lot in my  family research by some kind volunteers in Norway. Their info 
helped me trace  my people here in the US. You can make donations to  RAOGK


NOTE:
Our heart is saddened that we will be offline for quite  awhile. Between 
computer problems (harddrive turning to toast) and the health of  the 
administrator very questionable ... RAOGK, after 11 years, will cease to  exist for 
awhile

I found this on another list about a month or so  ago!
