Donated genealogy catalogue to the municipality

Monday, 23 January 2012 19:32

Hans-Magne Eikeland has for years worked with a "Slektsbank" (genealogy catalogue) for Sunnhordland and Hardanger. The genealogy catalogue is the result of a comprehensive systematic work of family history material based mainly on "bygdebøker", but also with the support of oral sources.

In total the material includes about 10,000 pages and much of this is searchable via Stord library's website. On Wednesday 18th of January, the genealogy catalogue was officially donated to Stord municipality, who has also worked with the technical solution of the computerized version.
