A [http://digitalarkivet. | A [http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/finn_kilde census]is a list of all the inhabitants in a council area or parish at a given time. Thus only those who were present in the house or on the farm at that point of time were to be recorded. | ||
There are two types of census; the nominative counts which gives us detailed information, and the numerical counts which only give us the number of residents arranged by district, '''age''', occupation or other categories. The first nation-wide nominative census was in 1801. Later nominative counts were carried out in 1865, 1875, 1891 and 1900. After 1900 there has been a census every 10 years until 2000. | There are two types of census; the nominative counts which gives us detailed information, and the numerical counts which only give us the number of residents arranged by district, '''age''', occupation or other categories.

In addition to these there have been some nominative censuses in certain parishes at other times. There have, for example, been several counts during the 1780’s in parts of eastern Norway . For the period 1815-1855 a total of 198 lists of names, of varying quality, have been recorded. An overview of this census material can be found in Anna Tranberg: Folk og Fant, Norsk lokalhistorisk institutt 1986. | In addition to these there have been some nominative censuses in certain parishes at other times.
