Census records can provide information about a person's family relationships, age, year of birth, birthplace, and property. Census records are especially valuable because they list a large portion of the population. They can provide information when all or portions of other records are missing. Generally, you will find more complete family information in more recent censuses, which can be particularly helpful in identifying birthplaces. Use the information with caution, however, since some information may be incorrect. | Census records can provide information about a person's family relationships, age, year of birth, birthplace, and property.

'''Mid-1700s: ''' During this time period, a clerical census called a register of souls (sjeleregister) was taken. It is more of a true census than the previous ones are, listing all members of a family and all persons living with the family. Much of this record has been lost, but it has been preserved for some areas. Rogaland is the only county for which the entire census is preserved. Some registers of souls can be found in the parish registers. | '''Mid-1700s: ''' During this time period, a clerical census called a register of souls (sjeleregister) was taken.
