Gudbrandsdal Lag |
The Gudbrandsdal Lag is an organization of emigrant descendants
from the Gudbrandsdal Valley in Norway and those interested in
its history and culture. The Gudbrandsdal Lag was formed in 1909
to maintain their ties to the homeland and provide a place for
those emigrants to assemble. If you haven't visited their site
for awhile it may be worth the visit. There are links by
municipality to records such as church, census, land, etc. |

Norwegian Farm Names |
Those who lived in rural areas of Norway also used a third name
to indicate where they lived -- the farm name. When people moved
from one farm to another, their last name became the name of the
new farm. It wasn't until after 1900 that legislation mandated
that people must take permanent family names. Some took the name
of the farm while others took the patronymic. |
