How to perform a search in Norwegian census records

An example of how to perform a search in census records, which are one of our most important sources of genealogical information.

Go to the Digital Archives

You’ll find the Norwegian censuses on the website of the Digital Archives. This link brings you to their English language page: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en. Click on Find source under the main search field.

Select the type of record you wish to use

Some census databases are indexed and searchable; others consist of scanned images, so one must browse through these instead of searching by name or other criteria. We click on Censuses then select the 1910 census. By using the Geography menu, we can select the area, in this example we selected Oslo, and from the Form menu we clicked on Searchable.

You may decide how many criteria you wish to add in the search fields.
