Planning your trip to Norway this summer?
Don't put off your research until the last minute!
Before you make your travel plans, remember that our dedicated staff has been helping Norwegian Americans with their family research for over thirty-five years.
We can help you identify the accurate farm names and locations that will enhance your trip to Norway. Visit the NAGC & NL in Madison, where members may use the valuable research materials free of charge; or send your enquiry to one of our experts for help in finding your Norwegian roots. (Non-members are charged a nominal daily fee to consult all the resources in the Naeseth Library.)
Classes
If you are just beginning your family history project, why not take a class in Beginning Norwegian Genealogy? Gather your favorite family members and take this class together in June. Or, if you have completed your research and would like to write your family history in a way that is clear, enjoyable, and permanent, the Writing Your Family History class has been designed just for you. This class is being held in July by request. For dates and further information, click on the "events" button.
Classes are held in the Ostby Education Center on the second floor of the Naeseth Library and are taught by Jerry Paulson, our Director of Research. Jerry has extensive experience as a genealogical researcher and has led several NAGC & NL tours to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
We also offer an intensive session with our expert researchers for anyone who has hit a brick wall and needs additional help. Two six-hour days of individual assistance may be arranged with the NAGC staff in our Personalized Advanced Genealogy offering. Call the Center to make arrangements: 608-255-2224 and ask for Jerry Paulson, or email gpaulson@nagcnl.org
NAGC & NL reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment. Note: There is no elevator to the second floor.
