The 7+ Lag Stevne is a yearly gathering
of descendants of Norwegian immigrants to the U.S. and
Canada from eight areas of Norway (parts of Buskerud
Fylke,
Innlandet, Akershus Fylker
and Telemark.
Each of these areas is represented
by an organization, or "lag" that works to maintain cultural
ties to its ancestral homeland and provides support for
genealogical research. |

| This year's theme emphasizes the
yearning and value immigrants placed on acquiring land.
Indeed, no immigrant group made better use of the Homestead
Act than the Norwegians. Join us as we explore the
yearning that brought so many Norwegians to our shores and
gave them the determination to acquire land and build new
lives for themselves and their descendants in America. |
