NEW NORWEGIAN CENSUS COLLECTIONS ONLINE

My Heritage has just announced the addition of 6.8 million records from the Norwegian census collections of 1891, 1900, and 1910. This was the subject of a Genealogy's Star blog by James Tanner. It will be posted on the tips and tricks bulletin board in the zone office.

The announcement from my Heritage as follows:

MyHeritage has worked on digitizing these collections in partnership with the National Archives of Norway (Arkivverket).

  

With the release of these new collections, MyHeritage now offers approximately 34 million historical records from Norway, including census, baptism, marriage, and burial records. As the Scandinavian market leader for family history research and DNA testing, MyHeritage also offers 136 million records from neighboring Sweden and 105 million records from Denmark. MyHeritage is the only major genealogy company to provide its services and full customer support in all three Scandinavian languages, as well as in Finnish, and offers the greatest potential for new family history discoveries for anyone with Scandinavian origins. It also has the largest user base in Scandinavia and the largest collection of Scandinavian family trees.

The three new collections are now available on SuperSearch™, MyHeritage’s search engine for its 9.6 billion historical records. Searching the Norway census collections is free. A subscription is required to view the full records and to access Record Matches.
