If and when I get across the pond to explore the homes of my roots, I will also visit Norway. I am only 3 generations removed from my Norwegian roots, and with a little help from family members, I can find the farm my great-grandfather left in 1918.

Definitely not stopping at Scotland.


As for national dress, my Mom is looking at making a bunad, the national dress of Norwegian women, which is mostly worn for ceremonial purposes. The male counterpart to the bunad dress is seldom worn, even by men in Norway.

I have worn horns and furry boots on a Sons of Norway parade float, and have not yet worn a kilt in a parade. ;)
