How far back to military records go (if any)? If Anders was a soldier, and there are military records would they list where he was from or parents. I have not looked into this, but I loved your hunch, it was great and I will pursue it further. Also would church records show him leaving the church for awhile (just another thought)?

Again thank you for all of the information to digest. I wish I had old family member to throw this at, but I don't.

The LDS library catalog - Place search: Norway - Topic: Military Records
Under the title "Militærprotokoller, 1643-1909" there is an interesting and very detailed description of the Norwegian military records that they have filmed for their collection of world-wide genealogy related information. (726 reels of microfilm under this title alone!!)

That topic also lists a 9 page document (in English) which appears to be a general presentation about Norwegian military records given at a seminar c1969, "Military records of Norway" by Jan H. Olstad. (Would probably cost about 15 cents US to order that on microfiche at your local LDS Family History Center.)

If you learn to use the Norwegian military records, you can teach me sometime later ... Good luck!
