Where can I find a link to that site that showed pictures of some ugly
scandinavian guy (Henrik?) and his family photo album? I don't know if
it started out as a real site or a joke. There was a guest book filled
with comments from people saying how ugly he was, like "you should get
a job haunting houses", and hilarious, cruel comments like that.

I am certain you're speaking of the bizarre website of one Henrik
Teigen:

Henrik Teigen homepage
http://www.befuddle.co.uk/ugly/henrik/

Beware of the guestbook: there are many obscenities there. Apparently
something about Henrik's appearance attracts trolls.

This site previously existed at two other URLS,
http://www.pinktuxedo.com and http://www.homoted.com (both seem now to
be defunct).

Thanks to the incredible time-traveling capabilities of the Wayback
Machine, here you may view cached copies of the pinktuxedo and homoted
sites:

Wayback Machine cache of pinktuxedo.com
http://web.archive.org/web/20011127080329/http://www.pinktuxedo.com/

Wayback Machine cache of homoted.com
http://web.archive.org/web/20000621194539/http://www.homoted.com/

The Wayback Machine has been a bit flaky in recent times; if these
links do not function, please try them again later. In my browser, the
text of some cached sites appears as black letters on a black
background, which is quite unreadable; you can highlight the text with
your mouse, and it will show up. These old sites seem to be
substantially the same as the one on befuddle.co.uk, linked above.

If this is not the site you're looking for, please request
clarification before rating my answer; I'll be glad to resume the
quest.

Google search strategy:

Google Web Search: "henrik teigen"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22henrik+teigen%22

Oh God - I must be very tired - I'll ask the management to remove my
horrible misspelled comment. The "sister", though, is still Wendy
Willcox.

Regarding the matter of how I found Henrik Teigen's site, I am one of
those people with a head full of trivia. Without meaning to do so, I
collect useless facts, which tend to stay in my mind for a
ridiculously long period of time.

From my travels on the Web, I vaguely remembered the name "Henrik
Teigen" in connection with an odd-looking allegedly Scandinavian
person, so when I saw this question, I ran a Google search, and --
sure enough -- there he was.

I am immensely fortunate to have finally found a use for my head full
of trivia. Before Google Answers, all that stuff just went to waste.

Oh my lord. I hope those photos have been altered, especially the one
of the sister. I would hate to think that someone actually goes
through life looking like that.

Of course, there is Janet Reno... :D
