Norwegian Genealogy Seminar

September 25-28, 2008

Concordia Norwegian Language Village, Skogfjorden

Bemidji MN

Among the numerous topics included are a survey of current relevant genealogical resources, with special emphasis on Internet sites in Norway and the United States, including the on-line digitalarkivet and the historical census records of both countries. The vast amount of genealogical information in the Norwegian Bygdebøker and the resources of the bygdelags in America are also explored and discussed.

Lectures and workshops on related collateral topics, Norwegian genealogical vocabulary study and the writing of your family story are also presented along with other interesting topics. Bring your personal Norwegian genealogy records, your research questions and your personal laptop computer. Skogfjorden is equipped with wireless internet access.

Featured presenters on Norwegian and Norwegian-American genealogy are Blaine Hedberg, director of the Norwegian American Genealogical Center and Naeseth Library, Madison, WI; John E. Bye, University archivist and curator of the Institute for Regional Studies at North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND; Evonne B. Anderson, retired member of the staff of Concordia College Office of Communications, Moorhead, MN and Elderhosteler instructor for Norwegian languages; and Verlyn D.
