[#44071] Aker bygdebok

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

I am trying to find out if there is a bygdebok for Aker, Akershus. I have heard that one may be published in the near future. Are there any more details? I am researching the farm Skøyen or Skøien.Mvh, Robert

www.BIBSYS.no gives: the book 'Akers historie' , author Edv. Bull, from 1918, ed. by Olaf Nordlis forlag, Oslo.Aker is since 1949? a part of the city og Oslo. There are two farms called Skøyen situatet in Oslo: Skøyen near Frogner/Oslo and Nordre Skøyen near Oppsal/Østensjø in the east of Oslo.

There are more books about farms i Aker: 1. 'Akersgårder i Oslo', aut. Finn Holden 2003, Oslo 2. 'Akersgårder: hovedbølenes eierrekker', aut. Henning Sollied 1947, Oslo 3. See also 'Oslos bys historie', the history of the city of Oslo.

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

There are very little written about the people who lived on the farms in Aker. There is no Bygdebok.Finn Holden: It is more about the history of Aker and its farms, not the people.

Thank you Unni and Berit. I thought I read that a Akers befolkningshistorie was to be published in 2007 to celebrate an anniversary. Perhaps there will be no people history in it. Or I may have gotten it wrong. Unfortunately my Norwegian language skills are very poor.Robert

It is possible to look at www.digitalarkivet.no: 'utskrifter av folketeljinger' for 1900, 1875, 1865 for the people that lived at the farms Skøyen, Aker/Oslo.

[Gjest Unni Jakobsen]

You can have more information concerning farms called 'Skøien' at Aker here: www.rhd.uit.no/matrikkel - or www.rhd.uit.no- and find matrikkel 1886.
