Discover your family tree

Researching family bonds lost in the mists of time is becoming Norway's largest and fastest growing hobby. The increasing amount of information for amateur genealogists doing detective work can also help those abroad with Norwegian roots learn more about their past.
Once the memories and records of living family members have been exhausted, there are a number of avenues to pursue. Armed with basic facts - birth dates and places, maiden names, death dates and dates of other major occasions - church and local records can help document the path back to the roots of the family tree.
Other official sources, such as various archives and censuses, are becoming increasingly available as they are registered electronically and them presented on the Internet.
If you are reading this, then your computer and Internet connection already represent the two most important tools you need to start the hunt for family forefather.
