I am continuing research for Thord Thordsen who lived in Rye, Svennes, Nord Audral, Oppland, Norway. His wife Rangdi Nilldatter immigrated to America in 1857 as a widow with six children.
FamilySearch.org references a Kirkeboker (church book) titled "Kirkeboker fra Nord-Audral, 1782-1815". Does anyone know where this book is available?
Thanks. Jan Iverson (jiverson33@comcast.net)

The parish registers of Nord-AuRDal will be available on micro film at your local LDS-centre or the norwegian Riksarkivet.
They are also computerized by Valdres FM.
And a searchable version of the marriage (gifte) and burial (begravde) records of 1808-1815 is available here:

http://www.valdresslekt.no/BegrNordAurdal1807/index.html
(I couldn't find Thord in any of these records)

Here is Rangdi's emigration from Valdres in 1857:

Not that there is a daughter on the next page of the document.

There are some genealogy places (www.familysearch.org) that have his name as "TOR TORSEN". Would that make a difference?
