This fully indexed soft cover book is available for $25.00, plus shipping.  The shipping charge within the U.S. is $5.50, for a total cost of $30.50

The previously published ‘History of the Hadeland Lag 1910-1990’ provided a detailed look at the first 80 years of lag history.  In the 280+ pages of the centennial history, stories and articles from the last 20 years of the Brua plus original material and many pictures tell the stories of the lag, Hadeland immigrants, and the lives of our ancestors in Gran, Jevnaker, and Lunner. The centennial history includes:

• An overview of 100 years of lag history
• Detailed reports on all of the lag’s trips to Norway beginning with the first visit in 1921
• Summaries of stevner and other meetings held from 1990-2010
• A statistical look at emigration from Hadeland
• Stories of the first generation of Hadeland-Americans
• The history of Hadeland, its churches, and folk dress

The book not only documents the history of the Hadeland Lag, but it also provides a great introduction to the history and culture of our ancestral homeland. “They Came from Hadeland” would make a great gift for friends and family with Hadeland connections!  You can view the table of contents and complete index here (pdf file opens in a new window).
