“Chris, you have done a great job reading those old script pages and having the tenacity to keep on moving in a positive direction to go back further and further into the past. I remember spending time in the archives in Oslo and the research center in Salt Lake looking at all those faint pages trying to figure what either the word meant or was it misspelled. Thank you again for the good work.” (Gary/Washington)

“I really appreciate all of Arthur’s hard work with these letters! I can only imagine how tough it must be to try to decipher this handwriting that is such a challenge to read, and then to do the actual translation as well. It is so nice to have these letters.” (Beverly/Massachusetts)

What are your goals?

example: confirm the identity of a suspected ancestor, breaking down a “brick wall,” general understanding of what the results mean, etc.

In order to be able to use your results, researchers will need access to your family tree. DNA can only be used in conjunction with traditional genealogy research methods. If you have not conducted any traditional genealogy research, basic research on your ancestry will have to be completed first. You can do that yourself, or you can complete a research request form and hire an NAGC researcher do it for you.

If you have an online tree, please indicate the website and the name of your tree:

If you have a tree stored on your computer using genealogy software, NAGC would like a GEDcom file. NAGC can assist you with creating and sharing a GEDcom file.

If you have a paper pedigree chart and family group sheets, the relevant files can be emailed to genealogy@nagcnl.org with your DNA research request.

It is possible that by investigating your DNA results, you may learn that some members of your family you believed to be biological relatives are not genetically related to you. You may also discover that you have biological family members you were not previously aware of.

If discoveries of this nature are uncovered by NAGC during this process, we will only reveal information you have requested to learn.

Signature(Required)

NAGC has native speakers on staff who can translate from Bokmål, Nynorsk, Dano-Norwegian, and hybrid Norwegian-English into English. Please note, we prefer electronic copies of documents to translate. Please do not send the original document.

Translation Fee:
$100.00/hour for non-members
$50.00/hour for NAGC members

All documents must be in PDF format to allow for enlargement if necessary. Do not mail original documents.
After the completed request form and PDF have been received, our staff will review and provide an estimate of the time needed to complete the translation. You will be placed in the queue upon your acceptance of the estimate.

Notes / Comments:

NAGC carries the Norge-Serien map series. These modern maps are extremely detailed and indicate the locations of the farms that are still in existence in Norway. To obtain a map of the farms related to your family history, complete the request and a researcher will determine which map or maps will show the locations of the farms on which your ancestors lived.

The Norwegian topographic maps are the most detailed map series for Norway. A total of 727 maps covering all of Norway show the location of individual farms and churches and each quadrangle is on the scale of 1:50,000.

Please remember that it may take more than one map to complete your request if you have multiple farms in the same area. A researcher will contact you to let you know exactly how many maps it will take to fill your order.

Map costs are $32.00 for members of NAGCNL and $36.00 for non-members, plus shipping. The farm location will be marked, so that you can locate it.
