Research Aids

The Busath-Cheever Archive on Permanent.org, available at https://www.permanent.org/p/archive/06zh-0000, contains many research aids, such as pamphlets describing Norwegian church, census, probate records, dictionaries of Norwegian words frequently used in such records, lists of common Norwegian names, charts on Norwegian calendars, and more.  The various records available are coded with the “NGR” prefix for Norwegian Genealogical Research.  Here is a sample of what you can find:
