Nord Hedmark og Hedemarken Lag
Welcome to an organization of descendants from the North Hedmark area of Norway, previously called Hedemarken
Our Purpose
Nord-Hedmark og Hedemarken Lag is organized exclusively for educational purposes. To the extent consistent with this general purpose, the specific purposes of the Lag are to help people learn more about the history, culture, and customs of the Nord Hedmark and Hedemarken area of Norway and to aid in the preservation of that heritage, to teach and assist people in genealogy research, to gather immigration and settlement history and develop immigration data, to develop a library of resources, such as bygdebøker (farm histories) and Norwegian church, census, and probate records, and to encourage the research and writing of family, immigration, and settlement histories.
Flere Lag Stevne
Flere Lag Stevne is comprised of 5 lags: Nord Hedmark og Hedemarken Lag, Gudbrandsdalslag, Trønderlag, Romerikslag, and Solørlag
We meet together annually in different locations in the Mid West to hold lag membership meetings, provide research sources and assistance in a genealogy lab, and offer educational topics related to Norwegian immigration, culture, and history. Most importantly, we make long lasting friendships with people that share Norwegian heritage.
The next stevne will be held in September 2026. Location and program details will be provided when available
NHOH Lag Scholarship Program
In 2017, NHOH expanded our scholarship program. In addition to a college scholarship, the Lag is now offering scholarships for members and their extended families to support learning in the Norwegian language, its culture, and its history.
