Am trying to understand what Hammers Prgj. Bergen stift means exactly. Parents of a family were born there. There children were listed as being born in Bergen.

Thank you.

Mary

Hi Mary,

Hammer prgj means Hammer prestegjeld (parish). Have been mentioned Hammer and Hamre during the last 200 years. It was a smaller parish north from Bergen, including in the bigger parish,Bergen... Difficult to explain, sorry. Today Hamre is a part of the community Meland. Church records (kirkebøker)you'll find here :
