Perhaps I will tell them if Americans are ever allowed back into Norway. The sky is yellow, strong winds from the east, 10% humidity and I can smell juniper smoke from the other side of the Cascades. There's some tall native grass in my back yard I think I'll scythe down after breakfast.

So what was done with legal documents where there were no surnames? Or were documents unnecessary also?!

Birth, death and marriage records were at the church for the Christians and oral tradition with the Saami. Property was recorded by walls, landmarks and fencelines and was communally recognized; if you farmed moved onto a place a lot of time that became your name. Saami didn't really own "property" AKA real estate. They had customary use that was recognized by other Saami groups and to some degree by the dominant society.

Our family was living on the frontier and mixed it up pretty good, both Norwegian and Saami. There was plenty of space and resources for everyone.
