Kontaktforum H-A committee in Norway is creating a list of all of the 11,500+ people who emigrated from Hadeland to the U.S., Canada and other parts of the world from 1825 to 1930. KHA is collecting information about each individual, which may include immigrant ship information, where each immigrant settled, something about his/her occupation, marital status, descendants, etc. Lag Members with a user id & password can check out the complete Kontaktforum database in the Limited Access Archive. KHA has identified some emigrants but has no detailed information about their immigration and life in America --

 

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Emigrant Searching KHA is looking for more information about these emigrants and their families.

 

 

The Lag hopes all descendants of Hadelendings will complete the "Hadeland Immigrant Identification Form" that has been developed to collect the information necessary to meet its ambitious goals. You don't have to be a member of the Lag to provide the information, and doing so won't put you on a mailing list of any kind. To participate in this project use one of the links below:
