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