For example, The Norwegian-American Association ([https://naha.stolaf.edu/]) in Northfield, Minnesota, has a file known as the "Rowberg" file. Andrew A. Rowberg started this file in 1914, using articles about Norwegian Americans from Norwegian American newspapers. The articles included obituaries; wedding and birth announcements, and information about weddings, anniversaries, promotions, honors, Norway visits, and other events. Short articles are mounted on cards, and longer articles are mounted in scrapbooks. Reference cards indicate volumes and page numbers to these scrapbooks. Each article gives the newspaper's name and date of issue. This file also refers to biographical information in a number of Norwegian-American periodicals. | ||

Slekt og Data is the country's largest association for genealogists, with nearly 9000 members. Slekt og Data was founded on January 12, 1990.

It's mission includes spreading knowledge about this effort and encouraging genealogical research in Norway. | |||

We have 19 sections which cover all the country's counties. All members are affiliated with a section. Members in these sections coordinate the local activity of the association. They organize meetings, evening workshops, and courses. Those activities that take place in each section are announced on the home page for the individual section. Most sections have begun with listing of grave sites and parish registration. This is a huge volunteer activity that is done so that we all are able to obtain easier access to the sources. | We have 19 sections which cover all the country's counties.
