Hi all, I am still reading the Norway List, but busy with career. Do any of you know if I can access the Finnemanntallet 1686 online? It is a census of people of Finnish descent living in Norway then. I found one link, http://www.arkivportalen.no/side/arkiv/detaljer?arkivId=no-a1450-01000001614 213 that says it has the census in its contents, but I cannot access it. Some DNA information and an email from a man in Finland suggested that I may have an ancestor from this cultural group, called the Forest Finns, who immigrated to Norway or Sweden in the 1600s. If so, it would be my first ancestor who is not Norwegian or Swedish! You can read about this cultural group here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Finns Apparently, the largest number of Forest Finns in Norway were in Hedmark.
