Usage Tips

These are the parish registers for the parishes in Bygland clerical district. They include records for the state religion (Lutheran) but also for "dissenters". Many of these registers were microfilmed for the FHL library, and later digitized and made available online through the Norwegian Digital Archives (Digitalarkivet). The Digital Archives make available newer registers that were not part of the Family History Library microfilms.

At times, the registers were consolidated (all parishes in one set of registers) and at other times, they were separate by parish. Different events (baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials) may be organized differently. You may have to check a few of the Digitalarkivet links above to find the records you need.

Note that Digitalarkivet includes searchable transcribed records for some of the registers - the transcription appears to be ongoing. The search has limited flexibility and does not appear to support soundex at this time.
