Norway Church Records: Difference between revisions

=== Burials [Begravede] ===

Burials were recorded in the parish where the person was buried. The burial usually took place in the parish where the person died, one to two weeks after the death occurred. In the wintertime the actual time between death and burial could have been weeks or even months.  

Burial registers list the name of the deceased and the date and place of burial. After 1814, the deceased person's age, place of residence, and occupation were listed. For young children, the name of the child's father is usually given.  

Burial records may exist for individuals who were born before birth records and marriage records were kept. Stillbirths were usually recorded in church burial registers.  

Some of the birth, marriage, and death records (mainly Bergen and a few other parishes) are also available on the Internet at:
