Jokes aside, I always thought they all look like Kristi Noem. I can live

 There are quite a few of that model. She's Norwegian and according to the
2000 census 10.6% of the state claimed Norwegian ancestry, beating the
Indians by 3%. fwiw, 27% claimed German ancestry. A friend in the know
told me the majority of the Sons of Norway are Germans. That will teach
them to open membership to non-Norwegians.
 While it's changing but if you look around at any local event it could be
any place in northern Europe.

 Santa brought me that book about norwegians emigrating to the US. It is waiting for me, when I get back to eastern europe (the book store lost it, had to track it, and ship it again, but now it's waiting for me). Looking forward to it! =)

Including within Germany, so the statement of a lot of Germans as members of the Sons of Norway makes sense.

I think this was common knowledge, but maybe this serves to prove it more fully? I always wonder how much DNA I have from eastern europe since my ancestors travelled east down to turkey. On the other hand, on my mothers side, my ancestors fled norway to iceland, and those guys were travelling more in southwestern europe. Could probably be some DNA from there as well.
