== Record Finder Table for Norway ==
*In column 1 find the goal you selected.
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.  
*In column 2 find the types of records that are most likely to have the information you need.  
=== Order of Records ===
*Column 3 lists those types of records that may also be useful.
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


== List of Topics ==
Records containing previous research (biography, genealogy, history, nobility, periodicals, and societies) could provide useful information for most goals. These are listed repeatedly when they '''are especially helpful''' for a goal.  
This Record Finder table links to the Norway topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.

The table below can help you decide which records to search.

  • In column 1 find the goal you selected.
  • In column 2 find the types of records that are most likely to have the information you need.
  • Column 3 lists those types of records that may also be useful.

Records containing previous research (biography, genealogy, history, nobility, periodicals, and societies) could provide useful information for most goals. These are listed repeatedly when they are especially helpful for a goal.

The terms used in columns 2 and 3 are the same as the subject headings used in many Wiki articles and in the Locality section of the Family History Library Catalog.

Find an article in this Wiki by searching for "Norway" and the type of record you found in columns 2 or 3.
