1891 Norway Census

سوابق 2,064,661

The 1891 Norway Census was taken January 1, 1891 and contains information on virtually all persons living in Norway on that day and sailors on Norwegian ships at home ports or abroad. The collection contains names, genders, residences, relationships, marital status, birth years, birth places, and genealogical information unique to this census such as a question asked of married women about their kinship with their husbands. This census departed from previous Norwegian censuses by using civic municipalities, rather than ecclesiastical parishes, as the census districts for rural areas. The 1891 census is also unique because it did away with the list format used in previous censuses and instead used a separate form for each individual. This permitted the government to collect more information than they had in the past, such as information about the living arrangements of each citizen, the relationship between spouses, as well as the language and cultural information of the indigenous Sámis. As each individual in the census has his or her own census questionnaire, presented in the collection as a digital image associated with each indexed record, a researcher will need to examine the records and images associated with other family members to see all information recorded for a family group. Additional information not present in the index, such as occupation, can be found on the digital images. Municipality names and borders have changed significantly since this census was completed. The names of municipalities in this index may have spellings and borders that do not match current municipalities. Detailed information about municipality changes may be found through the National Archives of Norway. This index of the 1891 census is complete with records for all persons it enumerates and all records have an accompanying digital image. The images are provided through cooperation with the National Archives of Norway.
