Planning a
trip to Norway this year?
Now is the time to do your research and get ready to go.
If you have never been to Norway before, contact a good travel
professional for assistance. Decide if you want to do a group tour or
travel on your own. It may take much research if you want to meet living
relatives. Start your research early so you have time to make contact.
Keep in mind that locating the place where your ancestors lived 125-150
years ago may not be easy. You may need a local guide since the cotter's
place may no longer exist.

Newsletter
- The
lag newsletter, Trønderlag Nyheter Brev, is published three times a
year. The most recent issue was mailed to members on 16 March 2012. Non-profit
standard pre-sorted mail takes 5-10 days for delivery. If you would
like to receive a sample copy of the newsletter, please contact the
newsletter editor. The deadline for articles for the next
newsletter is May 15, 2012. This newsletter will include final
Stevne information. Contribution of articles of interest to our members is
always greatly appreciated!
Trønderlag Aarbok 2012 -
Editing and compilation of Aarbok 2012
is underway. Like the other three yearbooks published in
recent years, this aarbok will include historical data about the lag, a
brief summary of the most recent stevner, as well as biographies and
photos of some of our Trønder immigrant ancestors. Did you submit your
Tronder ancestor's story?
Membership Renewals - If you're not sure when your
membership expires, please check the top line of the address label on your
newsletter for the expiration date. If you did not receive a Fall 2011 newsletter, it
is because your membership expired on 12/31/2010. Renewal
forms are available on the Membership page. Please contact the
treasurer with any questions. Email:
treasurer@tronderlag.org
Trøndelag web sites - Have
you created a web site for your Trøndelag ancestors? Send the
URL to
Webmaster and we'll post it with others on our
genealogy resources page.
It is vital in
all cultural life to maintain a link between the present and the
past. If there is anything that history makes clear it is this, that
when a people becomes interested in its past life, seeks to acquire
knowledge in order to better understand itself, it always
experiences an awakening in life.
