Clay County Norwegian Emigrants


Norwegian Emigrants
Clay County, Kansas



The following database was taken from records of people emigrating from Norway to towns in Clay County between 1877 and 1909. This is by no means a list of all Norwegians who came to Clay County. Some may have listed their destination as such places as Chicago or New York and later came to Clay County--only emigrants that listed Clay towns as their original destination are included below. There are a few Swedes in this list, who evidently left for the US from a Norwegian port.
