• Have you admired and wanted to learn Scandinavian craftsmanship such as rosemaling, embroidery, or carving? 
• Want to celebrate your heritage in song and/or traditional folk dance? 

If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, we're the place for you. Our members are anxious to help you learn these skills and more.

Surprise! Your DNA results arrived and they reveal you are part Scandinavian. Let us help you in your pursuit of finding information about your relatives and learn about the resources and techniques available for exploring your viking roots.
