[edit] Usage TipsThese are parish registers for parishes included in Gjerstad clerical district, including Gjerstad, Vegårshei, Søndeled (until 1745), and Risør (until 1745). 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. Søndeled and Risør split from the Gjerstad clerical district in 1745. Their records after 1745 are covered by sources:
Vegårshei was part of Holt clerical district from 1812 to 1828, and its records for those years are covered by source: 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. [edit] FHL film numbersThese may be ordered through the nearest Family History Center.
