Geary County Norwegian Emigrants

Norwegian Emigrants
Geary Co., Kansas

The following database was taken from records of people emigrating from Norway to towns in Geary County between 1877 and 1923. This is by no means a list of all Norwegians who came to Geary County. Some may have listed their destination as such places as Chicago or New York and later came to Geary County--only emigrants that listed Geary County as their original destination are included below. Junction City was the only town listed as a Geary County destination. There are a few Swedes in this list, who evidently left for the US from a Norwegian port.
