I have located my great grandfather and great grandmother's wedding church as well as the church where my grandfather's sister was baptized and the church where my greatgrandfather was buried. I cannot however find an address for the Petrus and Gronland parish. They must be parishes which no longer exist. Does anybody have an address for these parishes?

http://www.kirken.no/
You can find addresses for churches at that website.

Many scanned images of the Grønland parish records are online (time period as early as 1859, was a new parish ca. 1862) and also for Petrus (time period as early as 1880, was established ca. 1877).

(see the link for 'Digitised parish registers')
You should be able to find images of the records you want online.
