The authors have compiled a thorough genealogy of a small upper Midwest community whose ancestors emigrated from Rollag, Norway, and settled in Rollag, Minnesota. Encompassing 40 families, this book traces the first and second generation descendants and the ancestors of these immigrants. It contains almost 3,500 names and 300 pictures, as well as data and stories about the family members. The early ancestors are dated in the 1500s, with one family ancestry dating to the 13th century. The sources for the information are noted in the book.

This book will provide valuable information for the genealogist or descendant who is searching for information on ancestors from the Numedal Valley in Norway and the families who came to this community in northwestern Minnesota.
