Rogalandslag
Is a bygdelag of the descendents of Rogaland Norway (we would like to have members in Rogaland in addition to our current members in the United States) that emigrated to the United States of America. It meets yearly with several other bygdelag (Møre og Romsdal, Sognefjord, Voss, Nordhordland, Sunnhordland, and Hardanger) for a stevne that combines genealogy and heritage. It also shares in the Vestlandet quarterly with these bygdelags.
