About National Danish-American Genealogical Society

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the National Danish-American Genealogical Society represents a dedicated community of genealogy enthusiasts united by shared interest in Danish ancestry and heritage. Founded in 1982, this non-profit organization has grown into a welcoming network that embraces members regardless of geographic location, creating an inclusive space where people passionate about Danish genealogy can connect, learn, and exchange ideas. The Society's mission centers on making genealogical research accessible to all, fostering meaningful relationships between beginners and experienced researchers who collaborate to advance knowledge about Danish family histories, cultural heritage, and the broader immigrant experience. By encouraging research and writing about family stories, emigration narratives, and settlement patterns, the organization helps preserve and celebrate the Danish-American experience. Members gain access to a supportive community that shares expertise, resources, and monthly meetings, while also receiving quarterly newsletters and speaker materials that deepen understanding of both Danish heritage and genealogical methodology. The Society's close affiliation with the Danish American Center and partnership with the Minnesota Genealogical Society reflect its commitment to strengthening connections within the broader genealogical and cultural communities. For those seeking to honor their Danish roots and connect with others on similar journeys, the National Danish-American Genealogical Society in Minneapolis offers more than research tools—it provides a genuine community dedicated to preserving family legacies and celebrating Danish-American heritage.
