In Search of Scandinavian Ancestors with Seonaid Lewis

Join Auckland Libraries' family history librarian Seonaid Lewis to discover how to unearth your Scandinavian ancestors.

Viking, mariner, whaler, trader, forester, gum digger - if tales of these occupations lurk in your background, then your ancestors might be Scandinavian! Scandinavians had a big impact on the settlement and development of New Zealand. Come along and learn how to find out more about them, and where to look.
