Usage Tips

These are the parish registers for the parishes in Herefoss clerical district, which was formed in 1875. 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.

Records for these parishes prior to 1875 are covered by the following sources:

Herefoss: Hommedal, Aust-Agder, Norway. Kirkebøker
Mykand: Åmli, Aust-Agder, Norway. Kirkebøker
Vegusdal: Evje, Aust-Agder, Norway. Kirkebøker

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.
