GIG Objective

In late 2019 Lodge members indicated a desire to reinvigorate an earlier Genealogy Interest Group (GIG). Consequently, regular monthly meetings began in 2020. The GIG’s objective is to provide a forum for Lodge members to share common interest in their Norwegian family histories, to learn more on genealogical sources and resources, plus learn more of Norway’s cultural history and its impact on our ancestors. Active participation is encouraged!
