For præstgjelder of interest in my research I notice that there are two types of church registers available -- "ministerialbok" and "klokkerbok."
How are these different, if at all? |

Good information about the Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -

A rescript from 1812 instructed the parish clerk to write a churchbook, called the klokkerbok ("parish clerk book"), after the same format as the parish priest's book (called the ministerialbok).
The purpose of this duplication of entries was that they (the parish priest and his clerk) could compare their books twice a year, to correct and thus avoid mistakes or missing entries.
Also, these two books should not be stored under the same roof, so that in case of fire or accidents, at least one copy would be kept.

| Thanks for explaining a simple and logical system. As an ex-auditor, I appreciate their cost-effective attention to good internal controls like off-site back-up. |
