The Norwegian American
Liv Marit Haakenstad came to Norway House in Minneapolis flying over the route many Norwegian and Scandinavian immigrants took west. She took her audience on that path the immigrants took, from leaving Norway, the different waves of emigration, different routes, various shipping lines, conditions on the ships, the ports of entry in New York, first Castle Garden, then Ellis Island; the push west and all the different places Norwegians settled. In addition, she talked about sources of information she used and genealogical resources. All of this and more is part of her recently published book, A Guidebook to Norwegian Genealogy, Emigration, and Transmigration (Independently published, 419 pages, available on Amazon, $35 hard cover, $25 paperback).
