Norwegian Americans have created an exceptional achievement in venerating and preserving the records of their past. They began recording and sharing their heritage even before immigration ceased; their continuing efforts to perpetuate this history are as impressive as any group in our country.

“Dear Carol, Thanks for the work you did to find out more of my ancestors. Excellent job-again, thanks!”
“Thanks so much to Jerry for the PROMPT service! So very helpful!”
“Hello Solveig,Thank you for your help on my recent visit to the Naeseth Library. I was very impressed with the library and felt so welcomed & comfortable working there for the day. What a neat place it is, and you were so kind! The NAGC Research Guide and Norway map that I bought have been very helpful-I've used them alot, especially the Research Guide. It is really well written and has just the information all in one place that anyone needs to research their Norwegian ancestry. I now wish I lived in Madison (or at least not so far away, as I do)! Thank you again and hope to see you on some future trip to the Naeseth Library.”
“Thank you to Carol Culbertson for her excellent research!”
“Dear Carol, I am very pleased with the info that you sent me on my Great Grandfather Ole Olsen Klevmoen. I apologize for not getting in touch with you before now, but I am trying to absorb all this info and get it in the right place. Again, thanks ever so much for all the info you found for me. I am very pleased with it and thank you ever so much.”
“Dear Solveig, Thank you, very nice work!”
“Dear Solveig, Thank you so much for the translation work you did for us on the Hermansen documents. Together, these translations shed new light on the departure of my great grandmother's family from their native Norway. One can only imagine the true grit and fortitude it took to cross the mighty Atlantic to open a new chapter in their lives here in America. There immigrants were truly made of the "right stuff" and I am proud to carry on that family heritage today. Again, thank you for your work and we look forward to visiting the Center in the near future.”
“…if it wasn’t for the time that you folks took to introduce me to the Norwegian Digitalarkivet and Norway’s rich heritage of bygdebøks, our ancestry would never have been so rich and full of adventure-and for that I am most appreciative.”
“Thanks to you all for such quick service. I may make another personal trip (to NAGC) this spring.”
“Wow! What a fast turn-around for the translation. Not what I expected but good to know...a history surprise. I think the farm reference would be important. Great work! ”
