Totenlag
Totenlag is one of eight Lags that have a yearly grand meeting (Stevne). Traditionally it is called the 7+ Lag Stevne. All together, there are more than 30 Lags representing the people who come from many areas in Norway.
7+ Lag Stevne is a three day annual event with other people who came from or are descended from people who came from the Toten area.
The Stevne includes fellowship, an opportunity to use the Lag's genealogy materials, programs and entertainment with a Norwegian flair, and lots of time to make new friends. As an added bonus you may learn about cousins both in Norway and elsewhere and get valuable tips for visiting Norway from people who have been there.
It’s never too early to start thinking of next year’s Stevne which will be hosted by Telelaget. The Stevne will be held in Stoughton, Wisconsin July 15-18, 2026,and the theme is Connections, Community, Culture.
Here is the information we have currently. The Stevne will start with a bus tour on Wednesday,the 15th. Thursday will be the opening session and then the presenters and demonstrations will begin in the Sons of Norway Mandt Lodge building, which is handicapped accessible, and the Chorus House is where the genealogy will be, and this building is close to the Sons of Norway building.
There will be a block of rooms at a local hotel and a list of Bed & Breakfasts and VRBOs will be provided by the Chamber of Commerce.
