Munthe

This collection is on seven microfilm reels at the Family History Library. While the catalog lists eight specific families for the first item on film 1693883, there are at least forty-six other families where some information about the family is given. Item two has information for another thirty-eight families. Item three has forty-four families. All of these families are mostly in alphabetical order, but not always.

If you are researching Norwegian families and find a non-patronymic name, you may find information about that family in this collection. Gerhard Munthe has often given the references to the source of his information. Much of this information was found in Riksarkivet (Norway's National Archives). The information is sometimes just one page with a pedigree chart. Others have descendancy lists for several generations. The family data may have been collected from several sources and compiled into one place. It would be wise to look at this collection to see an overview of what was collected and to be led to sources which may have not been known.

Both Munthe and his son, Gerhard were pioneers in international librarianship.
