Source Description: Church book from Os parish 1860-1873 (1243P)

The information for this parish register does state that is it for Os and Samnanger parishes in Os clerical district. The use of parish in the source description is the Norwegian Archives term for clerical district.

The batch was given the place name of: Os parish, Samnanger, Hordaland, Norge for all the Baptism Event Place (Original) names. This is actually incorrect, it should have been: Os and Samnanger parishes, Os, Hordaland, Norge.

The place name error was compounded when the place name was auto-standardized to: Samnanger, Hordaland, Norge.

It should have been standardized to Os, Hordaland Norway since both Os parish and Samnanger parish are smaller areas contained within the larger area of Os clerical district.
