Purpose: Telelaget and the local history clubs in Telemark,
Norway encourages your assistance in
making a database of all emigrants who have left Telemark. The information
collected will be shared
between Telemark and Telelaget. Hopefully this will create contacts between
private persons and
organizations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. You may read more about
this project elsewhere
on this website.
Instructions: Please fill out as much information as you know
about each of your emigrant ancestors
coming from Telemark. If you do not have information for parts of the form
please put a ? in the blank.
Please make several copies of this form. There should be a separate form for each head of family
that emigrated. This form may also be filled out on our website. Forms should be sent to our genealogist.*
