Map Poster: Knowing your geography is a must when researching Norwegian genealogy. Deb Nelson Gourley, Astri My Astri Publishing originally published maps of Norway's 18 fylker (districts) and the 433 kommuner (municipalities) in the 2006 book "History of the Norwegian Settlements" by Hjalmar Rued Holand. In 2009, she designed and published a 18" x 24" map poster containing all of the fylker and kommuner in order to have a working copy (something to write on) when researching genealogy and documenting were those elusive ancestors lived. The copyrighted maps in the book and on the poster were printed by Astri My Astri Publishing with permission from the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF).

5-generation genealogy chart: Kids of all ages will love the self-guided genealogy chart so they know where to enter one's self, father, mother, father's father, father's mother, mother's father, mother's mother etc. You'll be amazed to see how kids of all ages enjoy filling in their own 5-generation chart from scratch, making it theirs!
