Good Evening, It has been brought to my attention that for the past several hundred years all norwegian men have at some point served in the army. With the help of the people from the www.arkivverket.no my great grandfather's records have been found (Olav Knutsson Rysstad born: 1877) My lineage goes back to 1500s. I've been curious to know what rank or role my ancestors would have had. My question is the following ..... https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/db/contents/32845 would this be the correct place to be looking? My ancestors all seemed to live in the Setesdal area (Rysstad, Helle, Uppstad, Nomeland). So would it make sense for them to have been a part of the Vesterlenske infaneriregiment? Just curious if the following great grandfathers would be on the army lists listed in the link i provided above. Most men would have served between the ages 19-22? Knut Tarjeisson Helle - born: 1827 Tarjei Knutsson Uppstad - born: 1781 Knut Tarjeisson Uppstad - born: 1745 Tarjei Svenkesson Uppstad - born: 1704 Svenke Olsson Nomeland - born: 1670-1678 (exact date unknown) Olav Knutsson Nomeland - born: 1644 Knut Nilsson Nomeland - born: 1600 Nils Mikkelsson - born: 1570 Thanks for your help

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me locate my great great great grandfather's service record within the Norwegian Army. His name is Svenke Olsson Nomeland. I've attached a copy of his information mentioned in the Valle Kommune Vol. 1&2 page 480. We don't know his exact date of birth. But we know of his brother Olav Olsson Nomeland's date of birth being at 1672. Their father Olav Knutsson Nomeland was born in 1644. I've emailed the digital archives department, waiting for a response, but it's been awhile with no response. So I started looking in this area of the website .... https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/db/contents/32845 On this site there is a table of contents that show each year. I have also attached a photo of what each page looks like as an example. I'm 100% sure he would have been recruited to the Vesterlenske Nasj Inft. Regt as he lived in the Nomeland/Uppstad region in Aust-Adger. Thank you
