Pantebøker
with Jeff Huset
Pantebøker are historical Norwegian mortgage and property deed books used to officially register (tinglysning) legal agreements and transactions related to real estate. These records are a crucial historical and genealogical resource because they contain official copies (avskrifter or kopier) of documents such as
Deeds (skjøter) for land transfers,
Mortgages (pantebrever) and other loan agreements,
Rental/Cottager's contracts (husmannssedler),
Pension contracts (føderåd) outlining agreements for care as part of an inheritance,
Surveys (målebrev) and property divisions (skylddelinger) and
Servitudes and other agreements concerning property rights.
