Source information: Østfold county, Vestre Fredrikstad, Parish register (official) nr. I 8 (1902-1936), Death and burial records 1903, page 8.

line #32 is the death record of Peter Julius Iversen. I am not sure what this says other than he died May 28, and was buried June 3rd?
Is there any value in looking for gravestones in Norway? Do families typically get buried together at this time? Wondering if his children/grandchildren are buried with him or if any family still takes care of the graves and how to find that out. I have had some luck in the USA finding the current owners of old cemetery plots and getting information from them


Thanks

David

You used the translations of the format column headings available here? Knowing those always helps.

Good information about translating the formats of Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -

Also use the helpful lists of translated words available online.

Enkemand = widower
maler?? = painter

In my long years of investigating my own Norwegian ancestry I've only found two early graves of ancestors in Norway which are still in existence. I'll let my friends in Norway explain.

Thank you. I will read these links and learn a lot I am sure!

Too bad about the graves - I thought as much since I never see them mentioned as a source.
