__TOC__


*In column 1 find the goal you selected.  
== Record Finder Table for Norway ==
*In column 2 find the types of records that are most likely to have the information you need.  
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.  
*Column 3 lists those types of records that may also be useful.
=== Order of Records ===
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.


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.
