Genealogical Database from the Valdres Valley

Valdres; also spelled Valdris or Valders, is a valley in Oppland County, Norway. This region consists of 6 municipalities, or kommuner; Vang, Vestre Slidre, Øystre Slidre, Nord-Aurdal, Sør-Aurdal and Etnedal. This database is a result of accumulated genealogy which began in 1980 with our first genealogist, Betty Rockswold, and then combined efforts through the following genealogists: Be Gunelson and Patricia Strot. We must also acknowledge Russ Elmore for his work in entering much of the early data. All of their hard work has led us to this extensive database which we are striving to edit, update, add to and maintain. Our goal is to make this data available to our members in order to help with your genealogical research. Please inform us of errors or omissions. We are always happy to help and hope that you enjoy this website.
