Bygdelagenes Fellesraad
"Happy to provide you with the most current bygdelag information available, on the web."
Welcome to Fellesraad's home pages.
Celebrating more than 100 Years of bygdelag in America
We are an organization serving today's community of Americans
having Norwegian ancestry. As such we strive to provide you with
the latest information on bygdelag activities, links to family
search resources, helpful paths to respective regional web sites
and connections to various genealogical helpers available for each
region. Many have used this site as an entry point to finding
their own Norwegian family history and an emerging connection to
others in a similar search.
Most bygdelag have extensive resources to help with your search
for ancestral family links originating within their regions of
expertise. Long time cultural ties with Norway and traditions
handed down through the families of most members envelope you in
the rich customs of old Norway still carried on in today's family
celebrations. Food, fun, entertainment and speakers on relevant
current and past topics fill out the annual meetings of these
groups.
A partial guide to what can be found on these pages.
