The 1930 car register is being transcribed – all car owners in Akershus are now searchable

A total of 5,455 cars were registered with a C number, i.e., Akershus license plates, in 1930. Now you can search for cars and owners here on Slekt1.

Four years earlier, the number of cars was nearly 40 percent lower, and five years later, in 1935, the number was nearly 48% higher. Although only a limited number of people owned cars, the number of car owners increased quite rapidly in the pre-war period.

Search in the Car Book from 1930 is part of the service Find Family, here at Slekt1.com

In the 1930 Car Book, you can look up:

  • Owner's name and title/occupation, if applicable
  • Place of residence (in some cases, you will also be given the exact street address here)
  • The make of the car and what it was used for
  • The car's registration number

Search all transcribed car books on Slekt1 (only for subscribers)

In a little while, we will follow up by publishing cars and their owners in Hedmark in 1930.
