[#75882] Old parish records for Klepp

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

Where do I find parish registers for Klepp (in Rogaland) prior to 1793?Hilsen Patti Mikkelsen

[Gjest Leif Erik Otterå]

Probably you will not find any. Klepp is a very old parish, but the known records starts in 1793. There are some records from 1758, called 'sjeleregister' Lenke

[Gjest Leif Erik Otterå]

But you can find information about people in 'skifteprotokoller' (I don´t know the english term, but it is about heritage when people died) from 1666, in Skifteprotokoll from Jæren og Dalane sorenskriveri, Lenke These records sometimes have a lot of information about the children of the dead person.

Thank you LeifI'm surprised the records don't go back further. I had hoped they were included with another area before 1793. That's too bad.mvh Patti

[Gjest Gaute Klepp]

In 1793, burned the cemetery and parish register in Klepp. At that time there was no copy (klokkerbok).

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

Hei GauteThank you for the information. I was afraid that might be the explanation.mvh Patti

I have borrowed an old parish record from Klepp at the local library, so can I help you? mvh Anne
