"..you must one day learn the tale and pass it on, that it never be forgotten." From 'No Outward Sign' by Bill Neugent, p. 65.
Telelaget is pleased to offer genealogy assistance to assist you in your search for your ancestors from the Telemark region of Norway.
Telelaget owns a large number of books containing farm and family information. See the list here.
There are a large number of excellent web sites that offer assistance in the area of genealogy. We are presenting some of our favorites here.
We have introduced a service that is designed to help you solve some of your personal genealogy questions. Those tough questions will be posted in our "In search of" section.
Genealogy is more than long lists of names. Many of us have gone beyond the listing of names to the collecting of written legacy documents. These documents represent the people side of genealogy and serve to "bring our ancestors to life.
Do you have family pictures, or family trees, you wish to post online? Here is your opportunity to post memories of your family. The information posted here is searchable via the Internet search engines. Thus, the names you post here may lead to you receiving contacts from distant cousins in Norway or America.
We are collecting lists from our membership. A few days after being posted to this website the names on the lists become searchable over the Internet. Hopefully this will give researchers one more tool to help locate their ancestors.
The people of Telemark are interested in what became of their ancestors that emigrated to America. Read more about the "coming home" project that links the people of Telemark to their "Teler" cousins in America.
