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.
