Parish Registers (Kirkebøker)—Images
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb read
Information about the parish records can be found at
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/sab/howto.html#Parish
registers Kirkebøker .
“The Digital Archives is proud to present a
new Internet service for browsing digitized parish
registers, launched on 8th November 2005.
The registers are digitized from microfilm and
then indexed. The registers are not published
before they have been indexed. The images are
indexed at page level. This means that you can
easily find the first page of a register, as well as
the start of a list of records, or the start of each
year in this list. From this point you can browse
through the pages in the register or through a list
of records, even though the records are scattered
around in the original parish register. Please notice
that you cannot, however, search on single
records and names in the digitized material.
The microfilm department of The National
Archives holds close to all parish registers
Results from selecting Oslo and Aker
delivered from the priests´ office to The Regional
State Archives, i.e., nearly 11,000 registers
with a total of 1.85 million microfilmed pages.
According to our plan, all the material will be
published within 2007. The digitized material
will interact with the databases in The Digital
Archives eventually, but in the mean time you
find the digitized parish registers here.“
Census Returns (Folketellinger)—Index
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/sab/howto.html#Census
returns Folketellinger
“National censuses were taken in 1769, 1801,
and every tenth year from 1815, up to and including
1875. From 1890 (1891) a population census
has been taken every tenth year. All census
returns from 1900 and earlier are available for
inspection. They are all located in the National
Archives, except for the 1875 and 1900 returns,
which are kept in the regional archives.
From a genealogical point of view, the best
census is from 1801, because it lists the individual’s
name, age, occupation, and family status.
The census returns from 1865 onward are also
useful because they provide information about
each person’s place of birth, etc. Some of the
figures given (in particular those regarding age
or year of birth) can be rather inaccurate. The
other records provide mostly statistical data.
The 1769 census, however, includes some name
lists, mostly from northern Norway, and the
1815-45 returns give lists of persons in a few
scattered parishes. For 1870 and 1885 there are
census returns only for towns. These records
are kept partly in the National Archives and
partly in the regional archives.”
