Publication:   MyHeritage
Text:   Birth and Baptism (Fødte / Døpte) RecordsThese records normally contain the birthdate and the baptism date, both parents’ names, marital status, and place of residence, the child’s legitimate or illegitimate status, and the names of godparents and witnesses. The child was often recorded with only his or her given name(s) without an expressly recorded surname as it was assumed the child would take a patronymic surname from its father or take a hereditary surname. Marriage (Viede, Copulerede, Ægteviede) RecordsTraditionally marriages occurred in the bride’s home parish if the bride and groom were from different parishes. Marriage records include the bride’s and groom’s names, birthplaces, marriage date, ages, and often their places of residence and occupation. The record also indicates whether the bride or groom were single or widowed before the marriage. After the 1830s the records frequently include the names of both the groom’s and bride’s fathers. Death and Burial (Døde / Begravede) RecordsBurials traditionally took place in the parish where the person died and burial records were recorded in the parish where the person was buried. Burial records include the burial date, the name of the deceased person, their age, place of residence, and cause of death.Records of Nonconformists and DissentersThe 1845 Nonconformist Act recognized Christian dissenter denominations but required those from dissenting denominations to notify the pastor of their local Lutheran parish of births and marriages for registration and inclusion in the Lutheran Church Records. However, relatively few people in Norway belonged to these nonconformist religions.This collection is provided through cooperation with the National Archives of Norway.

3. Title:   Ellis Island and Other New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957
Page:   https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-10512-35086127/erling-hansen-in-ellis-island-other-new-york-passenger-lists
Publication:   MyHeritage
Text:   Early passenger lists were single page manifests and recorded minimal information about passengers. Over time forms were standardized and additional questions were added. Depending on the year, information recorded about a passenger may include name, age, gender, occupation, destination, and information regarding place of origin—e.g. native country, citizenship status, race, nationality, birthplace, or last residence. By 1907 passenger manifests contained 29 columns and were two-pages wide with left and right sides. Many of the passenger manifests span two pages, and a common omission for genealogists has been to locate the first page and miss the existence of the second. MyHeritage has solved this problem for the first time by stitching the double pages into single document images, ensuring that important information will not be missed. Two questions that were included on the manifest beginning in 1907 were: 1) name and address of nearest friend or relative in country whence the alien came; and 2) whether going to join a relative or friend, and if so, what relative or friend, and his name complete address. MyHeritage has indexed the names and relationships of the individuals referenced in these two additional questions, making MyHeritage the only place where these additional names are searchable.Update June 2018: Added records primarily from crew lists, lists of detained alien passengers, U.S. citizen lists, and lists of aliens held for special inquiry.Records in this collection come from National Archives (NARA) microfilm collections M237 (Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, New York, 1820-1897) and T715 (Passenger and Crew Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, New York, 1897-1957).
