Had some ancestors that worked at Norway's principle Foundry and Machine Manufacturing Plant, in or near Stavanger. Can anybody give me any information about this place?

circa 1860's

Hi,
do you have a link to your ancestor in the norwegian 1865 census for Stavanger?

The are some people there working with different kinds of Foundry plants... mostly iron and brass.

this potentially looks like a great site, am I missing the method to have it translated into Engish or am I out of luck?

This is a site written by the Stavanger local historian group

The above is their address. If you write to them I am sure that will be able to help you.

Good luck,
