Paper presented at seminar in Lisbon, October 2001
It still lacks a discussion of more recent emigration (1900 onwards) to Canada from Norway and the rest of Scandinavia. It also lacks a discussion of distribution of the emigrants. It certainly lacks a discussion of important elements of culture, politics, and economic life that needs to be done.

As of yet the paper contains the following:
- a general discription of the character of Norwegian and Scandinavian mass migration to North America and the United States** in particular in the form of an introductory page
- a summary of the most important phases (chronological order) and traits of this phenomenon
- the first phase of emigration to Canada
- further emigration to Canada
- a bibliography

The paper ends around the turn of the century 1800/1900, in fact when the (mass) migration of Norwegian-Americans to Canda started.
