List of Member's Deaths, Opdal Bygdelag, 1929 This file contains the roster of persons whose ancestors emigrated to the US from the Opdal Valley, Trondelag, near Trondheim, Norway. The people listed here were members of the lag (or Bygdelag) before 1929. Membership in the lag was usually restricted to immigrants and their descendents and were popular in the US in the early 1900's. The Opdal lag began around 1920 in Washington state and spread to the midwest during the 1920's. By 1928, the central focus had switched to the midwestern states. They published a yearbook each year (in Norwegian), with biographies of members and stories about pioneering Opdal families. This list appeared in the 1929 Yearbook (English translation). This list of deaths is on the final page of the yearbook. Note that some of these deaths occurred many years before the publication date. Many of these yearbooks will be translated by Nordland Heritage Foundation. (At least two have been published, 1929 and 1930).
