I used the digitalarkivet successfully in the past but recently when I went to the site I found that the format had changed. I know that Erik Johannesen is in the 1900-telling for 1425 Hafslo. but I just can't figure out how to enter the new format to find him again.
This is one branch of our family that appears to have remained in Norway and I hope to find more information on his children.
Thanks,
Judie |

Hopkins, Thank you for that website. I looked through it and will now go back to the digitalarkivet and see if I can get anywhere.
repete009, I looked at your website for the 1900-telling and see that the information there is different from what I printed the end of 2002. There is no sign of Erik Johannesen (born 1848) , his wife and children but there is an Ingeborg Johannesdt. (born 1853)- possibly Erik's sister?
Erik also shows up on the 1865-telling for 0521 Oyer with his parents and siblings but there is no Ingeborg. His mother Ane Engebresdatter is sister to my ancestor Mathea.
Thanks, Judie |

It appears that there are two Erik Johannesens and I did not pick up the differences in the birth years. Not very observant, am I? I know for certain Erik born to Ane and Johannes is the one I want.
Now that I realize that was a false lead, I'll have to try again. It would be nice to find any of Ane Engebretsdatter & Johannes Eriksen's children.
Thanks for your help.

You've somehow limited it to 'Engebretsen' names and that's not the same -- her name was listed as Engebretsdatter Try limiting less for each search (I think of it as allowing for spelling variations) - for example first name begins with (starting on) then enter only An do the same with the Last name ... begins with (starting on) .... Enge

Thanks for both those sites. Yes it certainly looks like Erik and Christine emigrated. I have a cousin in Wisconsin - maybe she can track them down there.
When I went to the digitalarkivet site and requested 'first name' 'contains' and typed in 'eri' I was sent here: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webreg.exe What do I do to move forward from this page? Everything I click sends me back to the previous page. |

Above should read: 'first name' 'starting on' instead of 'contains' |

When I clicked on the last web page I posted above, it comes up but the page does not look the same. When I was sent there, there was a list of possible names beginning with 'eri' . I checked off 'Erik' but then couldn't progress to the page that lists the county options. I hope this make sense to you!
I really do appreciate the websites you found! |

In the Digitalarkivet narrow down the area FIRST -- then search for names, sex, marital states, or whatever series of delimiters you choose when you have reached the correct area database. .
If you are really determined to do nationwide searching use the other census databases - http://www.rhd.uit.no/indexeng.html But remember to include some real flexibility in your nationwide searches - things might not be spelled or recorded exactly as you expect them. Study the instructions and learn how to use the wildcard functions in RHD searches.

One thing you have to do when searching on the digitalarkivet is to use the "Ta bort søkeresultat" or "abandon search results" when starting a new search or if you have used the back button, what ever selections you have made remain in memory and you have to clear them out. It looks like when you access one page from a link those results are permanent I used your link and couldn't get it to abandon the results. Anyway If you click on the English icon at the bottom of the page it will take you to the main page and you can start over or click on one of the census years at the top. There is also a "oppehev alle val" or abandon all choices button on the database selector page which will clear the database selections you have made Hope this makes some sense. Carla |

Thanks for the information Carla. I will keep that in mind. However, if the Norwegian HIstorical Data Center turns out to be easier to use, I may spend my time at that site. Are there any advantages to using the digitalarkivet over the NHDC? |
