Yesterday I recieved a very nice email from Gene Hetland News director of KSOO. Gene says his name is Norwegian and writes like this: As you might guess, "Hetland" is a Norwegian name. My grandparents both came to the US in the 1890s from Stavanger, but my mother was entirely of Swedish lineage. My grandmother and her family came here in the 1870s or 1880s from Orebro, and I never was able to learn where my grandfather's family came from. Since my parents are both gone now, I might never know.
