Norway Church Books, Coverage Table - FamilySearch Historical Records

Norway

This table shows which parishes and foreign localities are included in this collection. The County Totals section gives the total number of records by event for each county. The Parish Totals detail the number of records by municipality and parish in each county. Frequently the municipality listed is the same as the clerical district. The Outside Norway section gives the number of records for each locality. These places are often locations of Norwegian Seamen's Missions or places where the Norwegian Missionary Society operated.

The localities used on this table are those used in the record descriptions on the English language version of Digital Arkivet, which are not necessarily the same as those given as the event place on the index. For example, if the record the indexed data was taken from is described as "Church book from Veldre parish 1921-1934 (0412Q2)" Veldre would be listed in the Municipality column. If the the record was described as "Church book from Aurland parish Nærøy local parish 1883-1900 (1421P)" Nærøy would be llisted in the Parish column, and Aurland would be in the Municipality column. Because of this you should look in both the Municipality and Parish columns for the locality in which you are interested.
