Hi;First I want to thank everyone for their help on learning to use Digitalarkivet. I now need help in locating deaths that took place in 1927 & 1931. They are not yet listed on the site. Carl Christiansen died June 14 1927 Petronelle Christiansdr died Sep 23 1931. They are both laid to rest at Norde Gravlund in the middle of Oslo. Apparently they moved from Vestre Voten in 1873 and moved to Oslo. They lived at Herslebsgate 4 in 1899 to 1904. They then moved to Herslebsgate 32 until Carl died in 1927 and Petronelle in 1931. I think this is in Oslo County, but I am not sure. Can someone help locate the church records? Thank you Sincerly. Maye B-T

There were a number of different church congregations in Olso/Kristiania. Which congregation's records were you looking for? Which have you already checked for yourself?

When the Norwegian church records were photographed there were and still are limits for the modern time periods which could be made public. (Much along the line as the US has a time period when the census details must be kept confidential for the privacy of the people listed in it. EXAMPLE - The US census is held private for 72 years. We expect the enumerations of the 1940 US census to be released in 2012.) The Norwegian church records had their own rules and you may have run into that time period.

You can wait and see if they are added to the online collection in the future, watch the microfilm collection available through the LDS Family History Centers, or perhaps even take the old fashioned approach of traditional genealogy research to write to the church itself and ask if they can release a copy of those two records.

You can also try a search on Norwegian cemeteries, which you find on this site:

New records are being added almost every day.
