Solørlag stevner (plural of stevne which is a convention or meeting) are held in September at various Midwest locations, usually in a hotel/convention center, so researchers can have access to machines and materials until the wee small hours of the morning. The stevne has been expanded to include Wednesday and Thursday as genealogy research days with educational workshops on Thursday as well. Featured events on Friday and Saturday are banquets, demonstrations of Norwegian crafts, interesting speakers, tours of local areas of interest, films and visiting with other members who are probably related in some way.
Solørlag has developed an extensive and varied collection of research materials including some on Finnish and Swedish Finnskog areas in addition to the Hedmark materials. This collection of materials continues to grow through donation by members and proceeds from a silent auction held at each stevne. To find out more visit our genealogy page.
