'''A Matrikkel''' is a public record, index to Land areas or real estate (Grunneiendommer) in Norway. In rural Norway it is a record or a list of farm properties. The farms are usually listed in topographic order and include a& farm number (gårdsnummer), and Division number (bruksnummer). These indexes include:<br>*The name of the farm and the land that belonged to each farm, name of owner or farmer, the value of the property<br> | '''A Matrikkel''' is a public record, index to Land areas or real estate (Grunneiendommer) in Norway.

In Norway the properties are divided by communities (kommunevis) with a number of farms and subfarms in each "kommune". Each farm has a farm number (Gårdsnummer [gnr.]); and each subfarm (bruk [bnr.]) a subfarm number. The farm numbers are unique within each "kommune" while subfarm numbers (bruksnumrene) start over again for each farm. A Matrikkel can also include a lease number (festenummer [fnr.]) used in sub communities and a section number (seksjonsnummer) (snr.). | In Norway the properties are divided by communities (kommunevis) with a number of farms and subfarms in each "kommune".

To make sure there is only one number for each property in all of Norway, a community number (kommunenummer) is listed in front of the matrikkelnumber. For Example: ''Farm number 200, subfarm number 243, section number 14 in Grimstad community, which is community number 0904''. | To make sure there is only one number for each property in all of Norway, a community number (kommunenummer) is listed in front of the matrikkelnumber.

When new land was given a marikkel number it is called '''matrukulering, '''and this will be recorded in the land record book (grunnboksbladet) by the land surveyers for the land courts. | When new land was given a marikkel number it is called '''matrukulering, '''and this will be recorded in the land record book (grunnboksbladet) by the land surveyers for the land courts. | ||
Some land records/property records (Jordebøker) for Norway were in existence from as early as the 1100s. More properties were listed from the 1400-1500s, especially 1590 to about 1660 but they do not include all the privately own propery. Rules on how these records should be kept varied from time to time. | Some land records/property records (Jordebøker) for Norway were in existence from as early as the 1100s.

Below you will see an index of some of the '''terms used in the 1723 matrikkel '''and which parishes was included in each jurisdiction. As the population grew these jurisdictions changed. As a result a parish could be in a different jurisdiction in a later matrikkel. | Below you will see an index of some of the '''terms used in the 1723 matrikkel '''and which parishes was included in each jurisdiction.

DEFINITIONS:<br>SKIPREIE (Skiprede): An area that was assigned to outfit a ship for military use. Its size was determined according to the number of farms in the area and did not usually include the entire parish. A skipreie may therefore include a number of farms of a given parish while another skipreie may include the remaining farms in the same parish. A skipreie was not confined to a parish border and may include farms in several parishes. As the population grew and there were more people in a given area, the skipreie became smaller and smaller. Today a skipreie (skipsrederi) is just a factory in a city or town where ships are being built.<br>TINGLAG (TINGLAUG): A military enrollment district (meets at the Tingsted)<br>TINGSTED: A place where a court was being held.<br>ÅTTING: An old administration system used usually in the 1600s and earlier.<br> | DEFINITIONS:<br>SKIPREIE (Skiprede): An area that was assigned to outfit a ship for military use.

FJERDING (FIERDING): An old administration jurisdiction which sub-divided a county, district (herred), and sometimes also a skipreide. It was not the only jurisdiction used for the whole country in the middle ages, but it seemed to have been one of importance for the church and state. It is the remnant of an ancient system and was still being used in Rogaland county in conjunction with larger court districts even in the 1700s and 1800s.<br>FOGDERI: The office and district of the Fogd (bailiff). In the early 1500s Norway was divided into 4 major len (counties) with Fogds (bailiff) in-charge of them. Norway was also divided into many smaller Godslen (Estates). Later there were several divisions of the len, and each of these len included one of more fogderi(er). There was a major change around 1640 and these districts where at that time changed to basically what they still were as late as the late 1800s. From about 1640 the Fogderi was a court district which was also used as the probate record jurisdictions for Norway | |||

<br>MATRIKKEL: A record or a list of farm property. The farms are usually listed in topographic order and include a farm-number and division number (bruks nummer).
