NORWAY. Hadeland Lag of America. An organization of descendants of emigrants from the Hadeland area of Oppland County, Norway in the United States and Canada. The Lag provides genealogical assistance and seeks to preserve the historical traditions of and strengthen bonds with its home district in Norway. In the first decade of the 20th century, immigrants and their descendants from specific areas of Norway began organizing into "lags" (lodges). Annual "stevner" (meetings) brought them together to renew acquaintances, catch up on news from the "Old Country," and pass their heritage on to successive American generations. First generation Hadelandings created our Lag in 1910 and it has continued to bring their descendants together for over 90 years. History, resources, message board, chat room, links.
