My sister, Naomi, has asked me to find information on the head drummer boys to the King of Norway. She said she was told 1 of our ancestors was head drummer boy to the King. I'm afraid this is all I know. My question is this: Where can I find a list of names of all past head drummer boys to the King?

Also I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in my search of my fathers family. I appreciate everything you do to help me.

Its impossible without a name.

The Royal Guard was establ. in Stockholm 1856.
Aproximately 1888 the Guard was transferred to Christiania (Oslo)

Drummer /Trommeslager

Royal Guard/ Kongens Garde

The drummers in front of the Signal corps are called "Signaltrommeslagere" Signal- drummers.

Todays Royal Guard Signalkorps (corps) consits of signaldrummers, signal- and fanfare horns link

Nothing is impossible, but this might be a challenge.

I've seen that the Langager family you've been investigating here on this forum originate from Ferkingstad in Rogaland.
If he was a drummer for the King, he would have lived in Oslo (Christiania). Are you aware of any ancestors coming from the Oslo region? It might of course also be that the drummer was from the Rogaland region, and was promoted to play for the King due to his skills or interests. I'm not sure how the recruitement process was...
