I would like to find the birth records for Kristiansund, Norway for 1867 and 1870. I would also like to find the marriage records for Kristiansun in 1888. These were the birth years and marriage years of my grandparents. I'm hoping that finding this information would give me information about my great grandparents. My grandfather Albert Olsen was born Dec 18 1867 and my grandmother Bertina Larsen was born Feb 18 1870. Any help on finding information about earlier generations would be appreciated.

If you don't get any help from people with the right sources you could contact a LDS (church of latter day saints) centre, which will be able to provide you with the Kristiansund parish registers on microfilm. The 1875 census should also contain the people you are looking for. Unfortunately it is not online for Kristiansund yet.

The church records from Kristiansund was badly damaged by fire, but the damaged material which was still readable was copied. The Statsarkivet has a copy of the damaged book:

572.A10 1865-1876 03 Hele prestegjeldet. F 1876. V 1865-1876. Fl 1865-1876. Fotokopi av brannskadd kirkebok

It is available as microfiche
