Page "Norwegians" Paragraph 13

Many Norwegians emigrated to the U. S. between the 1850s and the 1920s.

Today, the descendants of these people are known as Norwegian Americans.

According to the 2000 U. S. Census, three million Americans consider Norwegian to be their sole or primary ancestry.

It is estimated that as many as a further 1. 5 million more are of partial Norwegian ancestry.
