'''Genealogy Society of Norway - | '''Genealogy Society of Norway - SLEKT OG data''' <br> | ||
Slekt og Data is the country's largest association for genealogists, with nearly 9000 members. Slekt og Data was founded on January 12, 1990. The association's mission is to create a nationwide forum for family and personal history in which data processing and the Internet are used as aid. It's mission includes spreading knowledge about this effort and encouraging genealogical research in Norway. | |||

We have 19 sections which cover all the country's counties. All members are affiliated with a section. Members in these sections coordinate the local activity of the association. They organize meetings, evening workshops, and courses. Those activities that take place in each section are announced on the home page for the individual section. Most sections have begun with listing of grave sites and parish registration. This is a huge volunteer activity that is done so that we all are able to obtain easier access to the sources. | We have 19 sections which cover all the country's counties.

Slekt og Data has two subject areas, one for the internet and one for related genealogy study activities. In addition, major projects are established as needed. Current projects are "Gravminner i Norge" (Grave Stone in Norway), Slekt og Data treff (Slekt og Data meeting), Parish Register, and "Create Genealaogy Books". Often working groups are established for more limited initiatives. | |||
