Thank you all for your kind comments and valuable feedback! Good to hear that the webinar provided practical tips for searching in Norwegian archives, and that many of you found new methods to explore. It’s encouraging to hear that even seasoned researchers learned something new, and that beginners found the content accessible and helpful. For those feeling a bit overwhelmed, I encourage you to revisit the handouts and recordings—take it one step at a time.
This webinar was especially helpful because the presenter gave some very specific examples of search methods as they relate to the sites he was using. It can be very difficult with any new site, but more so with ones in foreign languages. I will retry searching the Digital Archives of Norway using some of his hints and hope to have some new and/or better results!
Great presentation. This one was really a star!! Very thorough and easy to follow. The handout is also valuable. So far Webtember has been invaluable. My husband wants to know where I’ve gone…
I learned so many new techniques for researching in Norway! I have some sites I did not know about before to explore and I learned how to effectively search the national archive site for parish registers in a specific city. I wasn’t aware I could do one search to cover all the parishes in the city rather than searching parish by parish for the correct one.
a lot of information! great to have. there have been a lot of interesting webinars to choose from this webtember….
Well done and comprehensive, just a little complicated for my current level of expertise.
It was wonderful that the presentation aligned with the format of the syllabus and very easy to follow along. Very thorough and informative.
Excellent, Clean connection and speaker. Good information on Norwegian resources and methods.
