Searching for relatives in Norway

My grandparents were Bent Karoline (nee: Visness) Nybo from the area of Stryne, Nordfjord. My great-grandparents were Knut Ingeborg Nybøen-Hansen (I presume from the same area). While visiting Stryne 3 years ago, I found a "Visness Hotel" but the proprieter was quite sure we were not related in any way. Is there anyone out there who has these names in their family tree? Bent Karoline emigrated to Hope, North Dakota, USA where my father Helmer was born in 1901. They then moved to Canada and farmed in the Hallonquist area in the province of Saskatchewan. I discovered that Nybo is a common name in Norway so tracking down relatives may be difficult. I'm hoping!

I have some information about some of the Nybo's from Hope, ND. My wife's grandmother was a Nybo from Hope. The person you asking about was her brother.

Not sure if anyone will respond since this thread is very old.....

My last name is Visness as well. My Great Grandfather, Theodore Visness, came over from I believe Kristiansund Norway. I was always told that there was no relation to the "North Dakota Visness'", but I am a curious person and would be interested in trading some info. I believe My Great Grandfather's brother Thunder Visness, headed out west in North Dakota in the early 1900's. but very little is known of him after that I am afraid. come to think of it...I may have spoken with you on a separate occasion...Holt sounds familiar....this is something that I get the bug for every now and then....
