Norwegian Farm Records
DOCUMENT-Norwegian Farm Records- Bygdeboks- (Approx 400) (In Norwegian) Extremely valuable for those doing Norwegian Research. The Norwegian Archiveette and other documents are more available than they have been in the past. (Not Digitized) This will not be disseminated now, but it will be shard with family or relative interested in Norwegian research. They will be shared by Hard Copy.
The Norwegian Government required that all Farms keep records of all their ancestors and descendants. These farm records provide extremely valuable information for Family History. Many of the records go back to the 1500’s.
I do not speak Norwegian. However, I have studied it enough so I can get the Family Information needed. If someone is interested, I can provide enough information so you will be able to translate the records into English.
I have copies of about 400 Farm records. This is the area where my Great-Grandfather John Dahle, and many generations back lived. I copied from the books that were available from the Family History Department in Salt Lake City, Utah. The areas I have include:
- Copies of the Kvinnherad Parrish. This is the Church where many Dahle ancestors attended.
- Copies of the Farm Records of Fusa, Halansdal, and Strandvik,
- Farm records of Strandebarm and Varaldsoy. These areas are in the County of Hordeland.
My Great Grandmother, Jonetta Ingermannv Dahle lived in Nor Trondelag, in the Northers part of Norway,close to Trondheim. There are a few Farm Records, but most of the information available were be from the National Census (Archivette) and other documents.
Research on Dahle ancestors should continue. I think it would be more beneficial to work on Descendancy Research. A starting point to be to study what has been done and then move back for ancestors and move forward with the descendancy work.
