This is a free genealogy database. The data is mainly transcribed from passenger lists, but in some cases information about Norwegian emigrants was added from other sources like newspaper announcements and voyage accounts.

Search tips:

 You can search by names "starting with", "equals", "contains" or "show all".
 You must enter a minimum of 3 characters divided on all fields
 If leaving any of the fields empty, select the "show all" option for the empty fields
 A patronymic is the fathers name as a prefix with a -sen, -son -datter or -dotter added as a postfix to the name.
 You might also have to experiment with different form of the names, as they can be entered in a different form than what you expected.

In some cases it is necessary to use the Norwegian characters æ ø and å. If you do not have a Norwegian keyboard or Norwegian keyboard settings it is still possible to type those letters. To type:

æ - press Alt while typing 0230
ø - press Alt while typing 0248
å - press Alt while typing 0229

On some computers you will have to press the keypad numbers on the right side, not the numbers on the top of the keyboard.

Special signs:
?? signifies that the handwriting in the original is indistinct or illegible. Part of a name, or an entire name might not be possible to decipher.
!! signifies that this information in the source must be wrong for obvious reasons. !! alone in a field means that the information is missing.
@ is used as a separator between two alternative readings of the original when it is impossible to decide which is the correct one.
% indicates stricken out text in the source. If a word or a sentence is stricken out it is marked with a % in front and behind the stricken out word.
* after a piece of information, e.g. a patronymic or surname/farmname, indicates that the information is not given in the original, but included by the registrator on the basis of the information regarding the surrounding persons in the source.

NOTE: The database is not complete. There are many years from which no lists exists (read more about this in the article "Hunting Passenger Lists"). There are also many lists not transcribed yet.
