Tombstone Tuesday -- The Cemetery of Haslum Church in Baerum


Haslum Church in Baerum, Norway, was built around 1190.  Many
of my ancestors were baptized, confirmed, married, and buried here.

  1. Really wonderful pics, as always. Question: Are ou aware of what sorts of records these churches keep? I've always wondered how to find out who was buried in these hug parish church cemeteries without going over to see them in person.

  2. Yes, there is a cemetery site: http://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/vis.php?mode=x where you can look up cemetery recrods; however, this is a work in progress, so some church cemeteries are not represented yet but are on the way.
