Kongsvinger

Kongsvinger (roughly translated to kings river where it bends) was a very cool place to visit, and possibly confirmed this is where my 2x great grandparents were born in 1833. Found no official records just eliminated the possiblity they were from an area Kongsvingen which doesn't sound like it existed. Wasn't much open today everything is off season and closed but we managed to find a church "Vinger Kirke" that was built in 1699 and walked around a very old cemetery. Lots of history to this town as well, it was a fortress town that protected the eastern borders of Norway since the 1600's.   Kelsey
