= Liv H. Anderson, CGundefined   =

Liv was born in Kristiansund, Norway, and had her first encounter with genealogy at the Trondheim Archive at age 12. She came to the United States by herself in February of 1968.

After getting settled in Salt Lake City, Utah, she decided to get busy researching her family history. She visited what was then called the Genealogical Society of Utah, then located on main street in a walking distance from where she was sharing a house with room mates in the Avenues. By the time she had researched her four generation of ancestors on both of her parents side in the Lutheran church records and census records for Norway, the library moved to the Church Office Building and here she learned how to search probate records and mortgage records. This became a great hobby, and by the time the library again moved to the present building she learned how to search the military records, guardian records, and court records. By now she had identified many of her ancestors and and enjoyed helping others as they came for assistance at the Reference Counter.

Liv has worked for the Church in Family History for a total of 31 years. At first 5 years in the Evaluation Department, processing Individual entry sheets, and marriage entry sheets for temple work. She worked 11 years in the Cataloging Department, and since November of 1995 as a Scandinavian Research Consultant.
