=== DØDSMELDINGER (DEATH NOTICES)===
=== DØDSMELDINGER (DEATH NOTICES) ===


Death notices are a source not often used in searching for ancestors in Norway, but this source may list information about both families and properties not found anywhere else. Probate records (skifteprotokoller) are often used, but not everyone who died had a probate done. However, there should be a death notice listed for every person who died. This includes the very young to the very old, and it does not matter if a person was rich or poor. Often a whole family is listed in a death notice.

Some of the notices are brief, while others will give a wealth of information. There is no standard format for the heading on the forms. Below you will see two different types of death notices. The first one is handwritten and gives an example of how it was kept in 1847 in Andebu parish, Vestfold county, Norway.
