Norlie provides a map of Norwegian population in the United States and Canada.<\/strong> \u00a0It shows that\u00a0Norwegian immigrants settled \u00a0across the continent, but most heavily in the upper Midwest.\u00a0 We have not attempted to replicate this scale. \u00a0We have linked to sites that allow further investigation of contemporary American Lutheranism (of various sorts) on a national scale.<\/p>\n

The second map displays the number of Norwegian-American congregations<\/strong> in each county that joined the Norwegian-American Lutheran Church in America in 1917. \u00a0While this leaves out some congregations, nonetheless, this map makes clear that congregations were formed only where there was a concentration of Norwegians.<\/p>\n

The third map shows that descendants of Norwegian immigrants<\/strong>, like their ancestors, are distributed across the nation, but still concentrated in the areas of early settlement.<\/p>\n
