The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005.
The Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
An English option is available by clicking on that word from either the left hand column or the blue link bar along the bottom of the homepage.
A newer homepage has been put up at (http://arkivverket.no/digitalarkivet) and the same resources are available there and an English option is clickable up near the upper right of that screen. The older entry point is still operational until the end of 2013 and I will continue to describe only the older entry as that is the one I personally prefer while I can still use it.
The scanned images are available from the homepage link "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] which is listed along the left hand column and from the blue banner of links along the top section of the homepage.
Clicking on "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] will bring up another screen and listing to choose from. Choose "Lesa skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Read the digitised parish records" [English version].
After you've clicked on that link and a new main page has presented on the screen be sure and read the instructions that are available from the Digitalarkivet for navigating the scanned records. The instructions are available in Bokmål (official Norwegian), Nyorsk (Norwegian), Davvisámegiella (Saami), and English.
Recommended basic reading are the "Startsiden" [Norwegian version]/"Main page" [English version], "Brukerveiledning" [Norwegian version]/"User's guide" [English version] and "Om tjenesten" [Norwegian version]/"About this service" [English version].
Good information about translating the formats of 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 -

| Translated from Danish by Google Translate: " ... There are many who have the idea that in order to find innocence and clean seats must travel far away from the cities and take in the remotest villages. I also thought so that to find the peculiar rural practice , as we are all about , in its original authenticity and purity , so I had to go myself to some hidden Afdal . then rose I know deep in Gudbrandsdal , Lom , and deep in Lom , the North District's field. But here , in Brotene , the innermost the bounds , here I find something else. here lives a rare sensible and serious -minded peasant with a like-minded loving wife , by the way quite smoothness and country people in squalid conditions , ( and with true esteem I mention your name, Ole Olsen Break and Inge Olsdatter !) . They had no son, to inherit the farm , their oldest daughter was so ' gårdgjente ' , the one who should be the parents ' fremfødsmand ' when retirement commanded them to abandon the farm holding. no suitor had dared to approach this house on the manner described above , although this also here in the village is common . But one fine day a boy from a neighboring farm with a comforter and arrest the father the story of the eldest daughter . father's response was that as he had good thoughts about the boy , and as he knew his daughter's goodness to him , he would not mind seeing him as a son , only he set two conditions: as long as the two not be married , they should not seek bed together, and like the house had previously been hospitable towards ' the cunning ' ( tilreisende godly people , readers, Haugians ), so would it be then , when the son in law took over the building's board of directors. - The conditions were instantly adopted . However, the case caused a stir in the village , of individual persons from outside attempts were made to get the first condition is lifted, and an old grandmother from the last century expressed its dissatisfaction with the new way that " she could not understand what the kind of affection that could become among the poor young people ." But all this talk rocked not a good decision and when I was guesting in the house just in preparation for the dear daughter's wedding , I thought then to understand that everything was a good and prosperous ...
