Contributions and Collaborations
Telelaget's unique combination of historical reference material, cultural traditions, Norwegian liaisons, bilingual resources, and member collaboration continues to reveal stories that help members discover more about their family's immigrant saga. This page is the home of some of the larger Teler heritage projects. Countless more are found in the pages of our Telesoga.
Family Websites and Written Histories
Family websites and history books, regardless of age, can be valuable when filling the gaps in your family tree. Research projects, Facebook pages, and family trees can help connect the dots in your genealogy project.

Coming Home Project
Since Telelaget of America’s 100th anniversary in 2007, members have been submitting information about their emigrant ancestors to be added to our database. Over the years, we have found this to be a fantastic searchable resource for sharing and connecting with distant family here and in Norway.
The Emigrant Database is newly expanded and updated, and it is now easier than ever to submit your ancestor information for inclusion.
