[#4750] Finding birthdates

[Gjest Brent Mikkelsen]

Would births in Fjelberg be listed in the database for Herdla or Manger, Hordaland? There is no database for Fjelberg.

Can't help u with your question, but I'm just curious: do u have relatives in Bergen area? One of my great grandmothers are from Osterøya, not far from Bergen.I-Lise

[Gjest Brent Mikkelsen]

Yes, I have many relatives in Norway. My mother was born there in 1934, her name was Ingrid Steffensen. She was an only child, however her father Sverre Steffensen was one of 11 children of Ingvald and Malene Mikkelsen. My great grandfather Karl Mikkelsen came to America in the early 1900's he was from Bergen also.

Fjelberg is south of Bergen. It is still a parish, but are no longer a "kommune". Now it is one part of Kvinnherad. You will find marriages in Fjelberg 1879-1919, marriages in Eid (part of Fjelberg parish) 1879-1917, and confirmations in Fjelberg 1879-1918 among the databases available here.
