Ira, Correct English would be: 1) Frida Rage emigrated from Norway to USA 2) Frida Rage immigrated into USA from Norway Both sentences are allowed by the dictionary definitions and also the GEDCOM description. Both sentences report the same historical event but each from a different point of view. 1) reports the event from Norway's viewpoint and you could therefore leave out 'from Norway' from the sentence but not 'to USA' 2) reports the event from USA's point of view so you could leave out '(in)to USA' but not 'from Norway'.
