Norway Lookup Volunteers and Their Reference Books

  2 March 2008


 
If you own any books useful for Norwegian genealogy and will do look-ups, please let me know. Volunteers are always needed. Current lookup volunteers: Please keep us apprised of any changes in your email address. Thanks! Linda Schwartz

Feel free to request a look-up from the following books. Please limit your request to ONE ancestor. Also, please put NORWAY LOOKUP in the subject line of your request to insure the message is not overlooked or accidentally deleted.

Important Message from one of the Lookup Volunteers:

" . . . To help me with your research, success is determined by good information you send. To find your ancestors in my parish films or other databases, please include the following information : parents, spouses, children, their brothers, sisters and any dates of immigration, births & christenings of any of the above mentioned relatives. Also all locations of any known residences, birthplaces, are extremely helpful. When the research is in Norway, any known farm names will assist me to help you. By including this information, it will eliminate the need to query you for these details. I am happy to help you with your research, please include your name and where you found my volunteer help. Thanks."

Hardanger lookups --
I have the reprint of Aamund K Bu's "Ættarbøker" for Odda, Ullensvang, Ulvik, Kinsarvik and Eidfjord (Øyfjord). They are also on microfilm by LDS, no. 125 9725 and 125 9728 (all 5 volumes on two films). The books were issued first time in the 1930's.

I have got the reprint of the old (issued ca 1950) bygdebok for Varaldsøy and Strandbarm.  They were separate "Kommuner" at that time, but so small that they gave out a joint bygdebok :-). The reference to the farm list of Hordaland must be added here too.

I also have the "Bygdebok for Odda, Ullensvang and Kinsarvik." Author: Olav Kolltveit, issued in the 1970's. An overview over farmnames can be found at DIS Hordaland's site: http://ho.disnorge.no/bboker/index.php. The upper line is index for the fam names which is registered by now (not complete for all "kommuner"). To get info an each bygdebok, chooose the kommune you found your farm in.

I can also offer lookups in "Røldal bygdebok" by Knut and Alma Dalen, issued in 1960. This can take sometime, because I have to borrow the book at the library. DIS Hordaland has also maps of different parts of the county on their site.

I can look up information from Snåsaboka IV.(no direct translations) Snåsaboka Volume IV contains a fairly detailed history of landowners/users and their families of the various farms prior to 1820.   Post-1820 the information concerns the main users and usually does not include children.
I am currently updating the information using Snåsa parish records .
Besides what is contained in Snåsaboka Volume IV: Births 1817-1837, Deaths 1817-1866, Marriages 1817-1903, Partial(limited the further along in time) Births 1838-1903, and Partial Deaths 1867-1903.  This information contains a
number of people born in Nordli, Sørli and various other communities that were married to people of Snåsa. For people from outside of Snåsa, my database usually includes parents and occasionally will include a limited ancestry.

Verdals Boka:
Heimer og Folk Leksdalen 1800 - 1940 (published in 2002)
Heimer og Folk Stiklestad 1800 - 1940 (published in 2005)
These two volumes do not cover the entire Verdal area, but from what I understand, the goal is to eventually cover the entire area in phases, to supplement the 1930's Einer Musum books which do not contain a great deal of genealogical information.
