A Guide to Norwegian Genealogy, 

Emigration, and Transmigration

This program is a taste of what you will find in her latest book, A Guide to Norwegian Genealogy, Emigration, and Transmigration. It gives an overall view of the Norwegian emigration history, different emigration routes, and processes the emigrants had to go through upon arrival in the USA.
