A genealogist working with Norwegian records frequently comes upon references to currency in probate records, tax assessments, and censuses. Official documents were sometimes issued for a fee. Norway, like other countries, has gone through several monetary systems in its history. Most of us are familiar with the present decimal system, that of a krone divided into 100 øre, but that is only one of a series of monetary systems with which our ancestors were familiar. | A genealogist working with Norwegian records frequently comes upon references to currency in probate records, tax assessments, and censuses.
