These are some of the main resources I use in my research. They include searchable records, guides, family tree platforms, and local history materials. Many genealogy sites also provide their own tools and databases, and I have found various forums and user groups helpful as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My most used resource. This is where you find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Database of graves in Norway. You can search by name, but if you are not a member you must first select fylke<\/strong> (county) and then kommune<\/strong> (municipality). You do not<\/em> need to know the specific burial site. (In Norwegian)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nBooks, Newspapers and Local History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Digitised newspapers, books, local history material and many bygdeb\u00f8ker. Note: Some content is only available from Norwegian IP addresses. (In Norwegian)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local history books tracing families on each farm. Many are available through the National Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
