We are constantly expanding our collection of car owners in 1925 and 1935. We have now added over 3,000 car owners from Telemark who were registered in the 1925 car register and/or the 1935 Norwegian car register. Perhaps you will find a relative who owned a car?
The work of making the vehicle registers from 1925 and 1935 searchable on Slekt1 is progressing slowly but surely.
Transferring the content to a searchable database makes several things possible. You can easily see how many people owned a car in a single location. You can also find out how many cars were registered as passenger cars, vans, trucks, buses, or taxis.
The car books that are now searchable in the Find Relatives service here at Slekt1 now comprise over 60,000 records. In addition, you can search a couple of other collections. This means that the chances of finding your family name are constantly increasing.
One observation we made while working on making the 1925 car register and the 1935 Norwegian car register searchable is the dramatic growth in the number of cars registered in Telemark County during this ten-year period.
In fact, the number of cars on Telemark's roads more than tripled between 1925 and 1935. If we go back another three years, to 1922, the number of cars on the roads in Telemark had increased by over 400%.
Work on completing Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder for the above-mentioned period is in full swing and is expected to be completed by the end of this month.
The illustration shows photographer A. B. Wilse on a road trip. The year is 1928, and the photographer has taken a break to photograph both the car and Flatdal.
A quick search in Norway's car register from 1935 shows that only three cars were registered as belonging to Flatdal. In 1925, there was actually one more person who owned a car, but of these four, only two were still registered as car owners in 1935.
