Wikipedia, engelsk utgave har en liste over norskættede amerikanere fordelt på ulike yrker.

Listen teller over 600 personer. Angivelse av "Homestead" i Norge for emigrantene kan variere i detaljering, men burde bli gjenstand for detaljstudier for å finne slektskap mellom Norge og Amerika. Aktive lenker i Wikipedia (som også utvides i antall), se nederst på siden. Noen personer (15) er beskrevet med egne biografier her i WikiStrinda. Der det foreligger norske versjoner av biografiene er disse forsøkt flettet inn i oversikten.
