Build lasting relationships with fellow Norwegian-Americans
We offer newsletters, gatherings and social media groups to connect descendants of the Trønderlag region of Norway with their history, culture and heritage!
Trønderlag Connections
The Flere Lag Stevne
Our stevne (annual meeting) features tours, genealogy research, cultural programs, entertainment, banquet, lag annual meetings and more.
Five bygdelags convene for a joint stevne every year at the beginning of August at a location in the Midwest. The majority of the members of all five lags live in the Midwest, making it the ideal location to allow the most members to attend.
It's called the "FLERE LAG STEVNE" because many ("flere") lags join together to hold this annual meeting. Many years ago each lag (organization) held their own stevne before they realized they could share in overall costs, invite a broader range of speakers, attract quality vendors, etc.
Heritage Tours
Our tours are custom-built from the ground up with unique and special venues to meet the needs of our members.
We offer a "Trøndelag Heritage Tour" about every 5 years where we travel to Trondheim, complete research at the regional archives, tour Trøndelag and neighboring areas, visit friends and relatives, and usually wish we had more time.
Trønderlag Årbøker (Yearbooks)
The goal of our yearbooks is to help us maintain a history of Trønderlag and share that history with lag members and others. The books often include immigrant letters and biographies with some including of families.
The first yearbook was produced in 1910 (and later translated to English), and in 2005 we re-established the tradition of publishing yearbooks. In celebration of our 100th anniversary, a special centennial edition was produced, containing the Centennial Program, organization history, short biographies and pictures of the 120 Charter Members and more!
Many of our yearbooks remain available for sale either at our annual stevne or by email.
