[Magdalen] Copenhagen.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Hagen - pronounced with the short 
a... Norwegian Lutheran stock.  This branch of my family tree is the one 
that's been in the US the longest. Is the short a for a Norwegian name 
consistent with 'the old country'?
