Our Purpose

Founded in 2008 by ECONA President Michael J. Bovre, an American descendant of Eidsvollman Niels Johannesen Loftesnæs (1789-1848). The purpose of the Eidsvollsmen Council of North America, a 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural/heritage organization, is to establish and maintain a collection of books, periodicals, documents, reproductions and other genealogical materials relating to Norwegian-American descendants of Norway's Founding Fathers at Eidsvoll, Norway on 17 Mai 1814; to collect, preserve, research and publish materials concerning Eidsvollsmen genealogy; conduct council meetings, conferences and seminars to educate members of Eidsvoll's history of 17 Mai 1814. The annual Council Membership Assembly is held annually on or near May 17th.
