I had hoped for more traffic on this list too. Perhaps I can get some
discussion going. Do you know there is a group that has existed for over a
hundred years that focuses on Nordland history and culture? It is called
the "Nordlandslag i Amerika og Kanada", and was formed in 1909 initially as
a group for immigrants from Nordland, Troms and Finnmark, but has evolved to
cater more to the descendants of immigrants from those areas. In the last
few decades genealogy has become a significant part of its function. It has
an annual "stevne" (convention) at various places in the midwest, and
publishes a quarterly newsletter called *Nord Norge*. It is non-profit, and
pretty much operates at cost. It's website is still under construction, but
information can be found at www.fellesraad.com Just click on "Nordland".
I have found it to be very worthwhile, and would encourage anyone with
roots in Nordland, Troms or Finnmark to check it out. I would also be
willing to respond to questions about it, if anyone on the list has an
interest. I've been a member for about 20 years.
