Fun fact; 1/3 of Norwegians moved to the US in the 1800s and a bit into the 1900s. 800,000 in total. A couple of them were the brothers of my great grandfather, meaning I now have loads of distant relatives in Washington state. We still keep in touch via Facebook. There is a Norwegian saying: “We all have a uncle in America” – which literally used to be the case.
