Contains one bound copy of the family history, which was originally recorded in 1945 by Alem Hagen. He served with the U.S. armed forces in Norway toward the end of World War II. The family history was completed in 1981 by Arnold J. Hagen. The second section of the account describes the history of the American branch of the families and their assimilation into American culture. The first chapter introduces the family's history since the early 19th Century on the Neset Gaard, or Neset Farm, with Bergit and Anders Hagen. This first chapter lists the members of this branch of the Neset family who lived on the farm and gives brief personal descriptions. This account then continues with biographies of each of the children of emigrants Bergit and Anders, and thus the "founding" branches of the family in America. Each biography of their children is also followed by brief biographies of their own descendants, if any. The book is also replete with photographs of family members, the Hagen farm, and the Saude Church in Norway, of which they were members.
