Hedmark kirkebøker - parish records
About this list:
I have compiled the information on this list from the
LDS Family History Catalog as well as from information from the web site
of the
Norwegian National Archives.
It contains a list of the parish records -
kirkebøker - from
Hedmark that have been microfilmed. Parish records that have not been microfilmed
are not included in this list, and these parish records can only be viewed
at the Norwegian State Archive if they are more than 60 years old.
I have translated the word
prestegjeld
as "clerical district" and the word
sokn as "parish". This is the
convention used in the LDS Family History Catalog.
