Field notes
The onboarding is designed to accept incomplete clues: a name, rough year, and place are enough to start, and the page says details can be left blank. Its FAQ explains how patronymics and farm names complicate Norwegian searches, including the name changes common among families who emigrated to America. The cited materials include Digitalarkivet records and National Library newspapers; the page also credits photographs to Norwegian museums.
