• Strong Keep - Both Olav and Kjell Aukrust are notable Norwegians (Olav especially, since he was important in the development of the Nynorsk language)--> this is a notable family. It happens to be a long-established one that we actually know the back-history of (I know the stuff about farms seems really boring, but Norwegian dialects actually varied on a farm-to-farm level; Nynorsk was an attempt to standardise these dialects by giving emphasis to the "uncorrupted" rural versions over the Danish-influenced urban ones). My suggestion is that this should be renamed as "Aukrust Family" with "Aukrust" set as a redirect, and the text edited so it reads less like a geneology - i.e. giving more emphasis on the family members who are well-known and giving the backhistory later. I will also "dump" the information in this article into the talk pages for Olav and Kjell in case it is deleted. --VivaEmilyDavies 22:47, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
