Birth Certificate |
owejen | I have a great great grandfather that was born on may 24, 1852 in Njordford, Norway. How do I find information on obtaining a birth certificate? |
Brining | Hi Norway did not have "birth certificates" then. All births, marriages, deathes etc were recorded in the Kyrkjebøker - Church records. The [url="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp"]LDS[/url] has films of many of the church records you can rent and also a lot of records on line.
The [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar&spraak=e"]Digitalarkivet[/url] also has some records on line
