Imagine your roots intertwining with the stories of those who braved new worlds for a chance at freedom and opportunity. That's the journey we're taking as I share the inspiring migrations of my Norwegian family to America—a narrative echoed in the lives of many listeners, particularly those in the United States, with Boston leading the charge in tuning in. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the courage and dreams that shaped our shared history, drawing a line from the serene landscapes of southwestern Norway's Konstali farm to the bustling streets of American cities rich in Norwegian heritage. 

We're not just recounting the past; we're living it through preserved letters and personal anecdotes that bring the experience of our ancestors to vivid life. You'll be transported to a Norwegian childhood paradise, learn about the significant wave of immigration that began in 1825 with the voyage of the Sloop Restoration, and understand how these journeys have influenced our communities today. This tapestry of tales not only celebrates our collective legacy but also offers an opportunity for you, our listeners, to connect and contribute to this ever-evolving story. So join us for an episode that weaves personal reflections with historical insights, creating a rich mosaic of our shared heritage.
