*'''Local Histories.''' A special type of local history book called a bygdebok (community book, such as rural or farm history) is available for many rural Norwegian communities. These bygdebøker often include several volumes for a single community. Part of the material is devoted to the general history of the area, but more of it is devoted to the individual farms and the genealogies of the people living on the farms. Information found in a bygdebok should be considered secondary and needs to be verified using primary sources such as births, marriage, and death records. | |||

To get started, post a query on the web site's surname or farm/parish bulletin boards. This is similar to Viking's "Lost Branch" (see the "[[Norway Societies|Societies]]" section). The bulletin boards are a forum for questions about specific family members or branches of the family. You might also search the site's online census records. | To get started, post a query on the web site's surname or farm/parish bulletin boards.
