Hey, hey, don't make me German.  I like the Viking blood that flows through
my veins.  In any case, I have a map from Norway (I was tracing family
roots) that shows a farm/small town called "Folkenberg" (or it
may be "Folkenborg").  In any case, it's where my great
grandfather came from.  According to local history, a Norwegian king's
mother once took refugee there.
