When I want to look for bygdebøker I always check the LDS library catalog online - using a book that they've copied to microfilm or microfiche is always an inexpensive way to use these resources. But they have more bygdebøker on the shelves in Salt Lake City than they've copied to microform and I can use the publication information in the library catalog to apply for InterLibrary Loan of the book(s) at my local public library. In the last few years I've also begun collecting copies of the actual books from those areas where I had ancestors live. I've purchased them from Norway by either contacting the administrative offices of the kommune/district or searching through Scandinavian used book store availability lists and then contacting the store which happens to have a copy of an old or out-of-print issue that I really want.
For Hedmark I suggest that after you've checked the LDS library catalog (http://www.familysearch.org) study the information for that area and the resources available for it at this website -
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/hedmark.html
My personal notes for the specific areas you've mentioned indicate these possibilities.
Åmot - "Åmot Bygdebok", 3 volumes by Eyvind Lillevold.
Løten - "Løtenboka. Garder og slekter", 3 volumes by J. B. Morthoff.
Romedal - "Romedalboka: garder og slekter" 5 volumes by Bjarne Morthoff and Jacob Sverre Løland.

| Is it possible that more of the Norlie family immegrated to the U.s ? I know we had talked about Mina staying with Adolf Rom's family when she arrived in N.Dakota, but I can't seem to find any record of the ROM family immegrating. Could you possible check that out for me ? I know Adolf Norlie and Adolf Rom (aka olson) arrive in 1908 on the ship Lucania, and that Mina and her two dtrs arrived on the ship United States in 1909. But when did Adolf Rom's family immegrate? |
Thanks,
Michelle |

| I found a ship manifest with Adolf Rom on it. It's dateof arrival is on March 9th, 1922. It also says in place of residence, "Craigmyle, Alta,Canada. On line 30 it says in place of destination "To brother in law Adolf Nordli". Now by this time Adolf was living in Alberta, but why did he go back to Norway? Why was his destination to his Brother in law if his family was there in Canada/ N.Dakota ? |
Thanks,
Michelle |

| Could Evend be another name for Anders ? I mean as far as first names for males go. If it is, than is there anyway to verify a marriage of Anders Olsen and Lisbet Hansdatter (M. 30 Oct. 1838) in Vang, Hedmark, Norway? |
Thanks,
Michelle |

The Family Search URL's you have sent do not come through.
Re-check the IGI file in Family Search.
The marriage of Even Olsen and Lisbet Hansdatter is listed - 23 Mar 1843 Furnes, Hedmark, Norway (he is 25 and she is 27, which fits their ages on the 1865 census)
Under births
Their son Hans Evensen on 14 Feb 1855 at Loten
It gives you the film numbers for both entries. |
