[#4206] Malma, Norway

[Gjest Laura Higgins]

Hello, I am trying to find my grandmothers place of birth. On her American marriage licence it says she was born in "MALMA, NORWAY" Can anyone tell me where this is?? Thank you so much Laura Higgins Forest Grove, Oregon, U.S.A.

Hi! I've not found any place called "Malma" in Norway in any maps I've seen.There are two places called Malm - one in Nordland, Northern Norway and one in Nord-Trøndelag in Mid-Norway, not far from Trondheim.There is a place called Malme in Møre og Romsdal, North-Western Norway, near a town called Molde.It's possible that Malma is such a small place, that it's not on the map, but that's unlikely, since birthplace almost always equals the church community you are born in.Do you now your grandmothers birthname (first namn, surnamne and farm?) When was she born?
