We are an organization serving today's community of Americans having Norwegian ancestry. As such we strive to provide you with the latest information on bygdelag activities, links to family search resources, helpful paths to respective regional web sites and connections to various genealogical helpers available for each region. Many have used this site as an entry point to finding their own Norwegian family history and an emerging connection to others in a similar search.
Most bygdelag have extensive resources to help with your search for ancestral family links originating within their regions of expertise. Long time cultural ties with Norway and traditions handed down through the families of most members envelope you in the rich customs of old Norway still carried on in today's family celebrations. Food, fun, entertainment and speakers on relevant current and past topics fill out the annual meetings of these groups.
