Subject: [NOR] Confusion about Oslo municipality and its county
Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2007 07:55:36 -0700


In keeping track of Oslo in the late 1700's and early 1800's I have
found references to Akershus county and Oslo county.

In 1819 which of these would be more accurate? Was Oslo county once
Akershus county? Lines blurred?

Oslo Domkirken, Kristiania (Christiania),Oslo, Akershus, Norway
Oslo Domkirke, Kristiania (Christiania), Oslo, Norway

I added the Kristiania (Christiania) part just for my own reference
as many sites state that Oslo was called Kristiania (Christiania)
early on.

Thanks again,

Doug TUCK-Walker
