1. | 1. Use [http://www.disnorge.no/genress/index.php?todo=visKategori&kid=100140 DIS-Norges Genealogical resources] to find the sources. 2. Find the people in the census records on the internet. Census records for 1870, 1885 and 1891 exist in Riksarkivet/Statsarkivet Oslo. You should have an address in order to find someone in these. Address books for Oslo have been scanned and are online at Digitalarkivet [http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Digitalarkivet/Hjelp/Om-kjeldene/Adresseboeker Address books for Oslo]. a. 1801 census is in three parts [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f10241 Opsloe], [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1801/f10218 Agger] and [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1801/f10301 Christiania]. b. 1865 census is in three parts [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1865/f60301 Christiania], [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1865/f60218b Østre Aker] and [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1865/f60218a Vestre Aker]. c. 1875 census for [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f70301&spraak=n&metanr=2144 Christiania] (Aker is being indexed) d. 1885 Census in only for [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f80301&spraak=n&metanr=5400 Kristiania]. e. 1900 Census is in two parts: [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f00301&spraak= Kristiana] and [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f00218&spraak=n&metanr=819 Aker]. f. 1923 Census [http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=ft03011923&spraak=n&metanr=5277 Kristiania] This data is being added to as more is indexed. | ||
2. Find the people in the census records on the internet. Census records for 1870, 1885 and 1891 exist in Riksarkivet/Statsarkivet Oslo. You should have an address in order to find someone in these. | |||
3. When you have found out where a person lives, but don’t know in which parish to find the information you seek such as christenings, confirmations, marriages or deaths, you may find the answer in [[Veiviseren 1899 i Oslo]]. Before and after 1899 you may use [http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Tema/Slektsgransking/Hovedkilder/Kirkeboeker/Soknehistorikk/Oslo Sokn og meigheter I Oslo] or this information has been translated to English and placed in each of the parishes in this wiki. | |||
8. Maps are important. Here are links to several maps of [http://www.byarkivet.oslo.kommune.no/kart/ Oslo (Krirstiania) and Aker]. You can use them to find boundaries for the city and the parishes. | 4. The church books for all parishes are found in [http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_fylke=3&idx_kilde=Alle&idx_periode=&idx_textsearch=&js=j Digitalarkivet]. Remember that the city grew and the parish boundaries were adjusted in 1859 and 1879. Aker was divided into Østre og Vestre Aker. If you don’t find a child’s christening where it should be, check [http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_fylke=3&idx_kommune=Rikshospitalet&idx_kilde=Alle&idx_periode=&idx_textsearch=&js=j Rikshopitalets] church books. There were children born there in addition to those born out of wedlock. Many children born out of wedlock were christened in [http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_fylke=3&idx_kommune=Gamle+Aker+prgj&idx_kilde=Alle&idx_periode=&idx_textsearch=&js=j Gamle Aker] because the mother lived at Sebbelows stiftelse in Klingenberggata 6. | ||
5. [https://familysearch.org/ Family Search] has indexed many of Olso’s church books. Remember to double-check with the original church books as addresses and witness are not included in the data. | |||
6. Records for all of Olso’s cemeteries are found in [http://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/index.php?language=engelsk DIS-Norges Gravminnedatabase]. This is for existing graves. | |||
7. There is a death index beginning in 1894 for those who died in Oslo. Look first in the [http://arkivverket.no/URN:sk_read/search/?forvaltning=&fylke=03&embete=&protokoll=SKDR&periode=&navn= index] and then in the [http://arkivverket.no/URN:sk_read/search/?forvaltning=&fylke=03&embete=&protokoll=SKDP&periode=&navn= records]. | |||
