This international site is designed by Liv Marit Haakenstad to help persons
living in English-speaking countries find their Norwegian family's genealogy
and stories, particularly involving relatives who emigrated to North
America. The site also aids Norwegians in finding the descendants/stories of
their North American immigrant relatives.
You will find useful information to help you trace your ancestral lines,
both in Norway and in early Norwegian-American settlements in the United
States and Canada.
In the course of your research, you may learn not only who your ancestors
were, but also, if they emigrated, why they might have done so, how they
managed and afforded the adventure, and why they chose to live where they
did in North America. You may also learn about the relatives left in Norway
and may find some cousins you didn't know you had.
