Census Records

 * 1660's:  Sogneprestenes manntall 1664-1666.  The 1664-1666 census for Vestby prestegjeld, (clerical district) is available on microfilm at the Family History Library.  This census was taken by the local parish priests. It lists the name of the farms, names of farm owners (including widows), the sons of the farm owners, male farm hands, cottagers and their sons, and the ages of each person. There was another census taken by the civil authorities at this same time. Both censuses should be searched as they supplement each other. This clerical census is more complete.
