June Webinar | Scrolling through Norwegian Genealogy Resources Online | Eleanor Brinsko
We have a much simpler time crossing the Atlantic than many of our ancestors had, especially now with the internet in the comfort of our own homes.
In this lecture, we will explore how to use Norwegian genealogical databases, such as DigitalArkivet for government records, church database websites to find parishes and their histories, and social media to connect with family members and stay up-to-date with advancements in genealogical resources both in Norway and America.
