The Norway Digital Archives has now posted the 1910 census online at http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar&spraak=e. Yesterday I looked at the new site. Although our forebears had all left Norway by 1910, parents and siblings remained behind. Locating people on any Norway census presents challenges due to the uncertainty of whether they used patronymics or surnames, so one must sometimes try several variations of possible names. It helps if a family member has an unusual name. The 1910 census also has an advanced search feature that enables you to limit results by birth year, etc. Using these strategies, I found the people I sought without too much difficulty. The family tree has grown again.
