Genealogy

     There are several ways to research the genealogy of your family with roots in the Gudbrandsdal Valley of Norway.

• For questions about your Gudbrandsdal genealogy contact our genealogy committee at genealogy@gudbrandlag.org
• Members of Gudbrandsdalslaget can take advantage of the extensive genealogical database maintained by Lag Genealogist, Marilyn Sorensen.
• At the Lag's annual meeting (i.e. Stevne) in August approximately two days are devoted to genealogy research. Special reference materials are available including bygdebøker, census records, church books, emigration records, family histories and many other sources. Genealogists are available to assist members in their research using unique lag references.
• During Norwegian Lag Week in March, members can work with lag genealogists at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah
• Anyone can pose genealogy research and other questions to the Gudbrandsdalslaget Facebook Group
• Tor Onshus has an extensive online genealogy database of Family from Ringebu and Gudbrandsdalen
