Richard Olsen Skrevet April 25, 2022 Del Skrevet April 25, 2022 I will ask the question here in case someone else experienced the same and may be able to assist me with their knowledge. This is important to me. I am attempting to locate burial information (field number, row number, plot number) on my Aunt Inga (my grandfather's sister) who died in 1946 and buried in the Grefsen Cemetery (Aker). I found nothing on my aunt. Searching online databases I found that a number of burial information was "deleted". Random example" 02.013.slettet I was in contact with an official in Oslo who stated that if the grave she was buried in was deleted when information about the buried was entered in the computer system, the persons was not always registered. Question: Why would any of the information be deleted? Could it be due to the following: Burial Plots are leased for a 20 year period. After 20 years the lease must be renewed. If it is not renewed then the gravemarker could be removed and another person buried in that plot above the original person. Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...
Ivar S. Ertesvåg Skrevet April 25, 2022 Del Skrevet April 25, 2022 I do not know about this particular case ... However, "slette" (past tense "slettet), in the context of a grave(yard), has the meaning of your last line. 1946 is soon four 20-year periods ago. The computer system is hardly much more than 20 years ago. It is very likely that the grave was "slettet" before the computer registry came into use. There is a possibility that a paper-based registry from the 1940s etc. is preserved in some archive (but I do not know). Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...
Dag T. Hoelseth Skrevet April 25, 2022 Del Skrevet April 25, 2022 Oslo City Archives would most certainly have grave protocols/burial protocols for Grefsen Cemetery which could be consulted (I have been to the archives myself to check similar protocols for Vestre gravlund (Vestre cemetery). I would therefore suggest that you contact the City Archives directly: https://www.oslo.kommune.no/natur-kultur-og-fritid/byarkivet/byarkivet-og-lesesalen/ DTH Sven Hjortland reagerte på dette 1 Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...
Richard Olsen Skrevet April 25, 2022 Forfatter Del Skrevet April 25, 2022 Ivar S. Ertesvåg and Dag T. Hoelseth Thank you for the replies. I now realize that I was searching for something that no longer exists. I sent a message to the Oslo City Archives. They may be able to provide information as to where she once was buried, but that is meaningless now. My family and Inga kept in contact, about 40 years, until her death.
