    Birth record of Andrew Havig Jensen. Farsund, 1861.

    In Norway, birth records are primarily maintained by the National Archives and local tax offices. These records include the official birth certificate, which contains essential details such as the child's name, date of birth, and parents' information. Additionally, church records can be valuable, as they document baptisms and may include more extensive familial details. The Civil Registry also serves as a crucial database for births, marriages, and deaths, ensuring accurate population statistics. For genealogical research, these records provide insights into family history and lineage, often accessible to the public under specific conditions after a designated period.
