Links to Useful Sites
Genealogy & Other References
This list constitutes the lists of references that I have found over the
years. It is not a Cyndi's List, by any means. (I still find that very
useful).
I have added my own ranking to each site according to how often I
personally reference the site. Such a rank does not constitute an opinion of
good or bad, by the way. It just indicates my frequency of personal use.
= Used often by me
= Frequently used
= Occasionally used
This is listed in the following way:

Cyndi's List
- Still the best directory for browsing info and keeping abreast
of techniques
-
LDS Family Search - The
Mormon church keeps good records. I have found mistakes there, especially in
the misleading assumption of some of their researchers about the last name
of Norwegian ancestors (If Kari, daughter of Vermund Olsen was married to
Lars Hansen, she would be referred to as Kari Vermundsdatter, not Mrs.
Hansen or Kari Olsen). Still useful as an initial search tool for people.
-
Rootsweb - Fair source to use. You need to look up variations
of farm (gard) names (Nuland, Nueland, etc) as well as family names
(Larson, Larsson, Larsen, Larsdatter, Larsdtr, etc. ) to find much. I don't
have a paid subscription for http://www.ancestry.com
for similar reasons.

Royalty (including the Viking kings)
Norway is not an isolated people with an isolated history. Perhaps the common
people tended to stay close to their birthplace in the last 1000 years, but the
royal vikings kept the peace and made treaties through intermarriages with
others in Sweden, Denmark, Flanders (modern Belgium and Netherlands), Normandy,
English/Scotch Isles, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sicily (Italy), and to the east
in Poland, and all the way down to Kiev.
