[#51645] Norwegians to New Zealand

[Gjest Melissa Hvidsten]

Does anyone know much about emmigration patters of Norwegians to New Zealand? I didn't realize there was much movement from Norway to New Zealand in the 1800s, but then I saw that an ancestor of mine moved with his wife to New Zealand, then apparently went back to Norway a few years later before immigrating to the US. Anyone have any thoughts on why they might have gone to New Zealand, and why they didn't stay?
