This lists gives the names of the emigrants from Överhogdal recorded by the church between 1867 and 1930. Most of them were born in Överhogdal unless it is noted otherwise. There were other emigrants with ties to Överhogdal who left from nearby communities. Two families in particular that we mention were the Fromes who emigrated from Rätan and the Bergman who emigrated from Ytterhogdal, For this reason their names won´t be found on this list,
