In the digital archives at http://www.digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=4&filnamn=f18011941&gardpostnr=20&personpostnr=352#nedre

There is a census extraction of the family of Knud Olsen and his wife Abel Abramsdatter. The parish is Schiervøe in Finnmark I am trying to review the digital church records to find more about this family. Where is Schiervøe. In which community's church records should I look?

Thank you
Leslie Vaughn

Skjervøy is in Troms, see map
Zoom to your liking.
Parish record for their son Thomas, born June 20 1798, see
Kildeinformasjon: Troms fylke, Skjervøy, Ministerialbok nr. 2 (1781-1817), Fødte og døpte 1798, side 158-159.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9729&idx_id=9729&uid=ny&idx_side=-83

The parents were married Sept 18, 6th record in 1797.

Their second child Karen Margretha was born Nov 15 1799, top of right page.

Thank you Einar

In the 1801 census it says Finnmark. Did the boundary lines change so that the it is now in Troms?

Thank you for the map. I had not seen that one before. It is very informative

Boundaries could have changed -- think of all the changes in the North America since 1801...

In the past Skjervøy was a part of Tromsø and Senja Bailff District, Finnmark County, later Troms.

Skjervøy divorced from Tromsø and became an independent parish Jan. 18. 1776 and an independant municipality 1838.
