-===Records of Norwegian Immigrants in the United States==
-Most early Norwegian immigrants to the United States settled in the Midwest, but many also settled in other parts of the United States and Canada.
-'''Passenger lists'''. Most Norwegian immigrants to the United States arrived at the ports of New York and Quebec. The Family History Library has microfilm copies of the records of all the major North American ports. Some are indexed. See the United States Research Outline for further information about United States immigration records.
+==Records of Norwegian Immigrants in the Other Countries==
-'''County histories.''' Histories from the counties where Norwegians settled sometimes provide the immigrants' towns of origin.
-'''War records.''' Civil War service and pension records and World War I draft registration records sometimes give clues as to what a person's place of origin in Norway was.
-'''Naturalization.''' Naturalization records from county, state, and district courts may give important clues as to where an immigrant was from and when he or she lived there.
-'''Census records.''' The United States federal censuses for 1900, 1910,&nbsp;1920 and 1930 list the year of immigration and indicate if a person had been naturalized.
-'''Church records.''' Church records from Norwegian churches in America can be useful in your research. (See the "[[Norway Archives and Libraries|Archives and Libraries]]" section for an address to the Evangelical Lutheran churches in America.) People tracing Norwegian Latter-day Saint ancestors should see the [[Tracing Latter-day Saint Ancestors|Latter-day Saints Research]] page Tracing Latter-day Saint Ancestors for additional sources.
