Stability and performance improvements.

Now also works on the new M1 Macs. Adopted changes to the place name search of Statens Kartverk.

1.3.1

July 6, 2021

Updated the reference to Digitalarkivet that prevented census data from being read.

1.3.0

May 31, 2020

Historical images are back. The Norvegiana data source has been replaced by directly accessing DigitaltMuseum. Cleaner and simpler UI. iOS 13 compliance.

1.1.32

January 6, 2017

Updated to match changes in the data format of DigitalArkivet.

1.1.31

August 4, 2016

- When zooming out, icons that start overlapping will automatically combine to form "group icons". Tapping these will zoom the map to reveal the overlapping icons. - Minor bugfixes. - Updated help, acknowledgements and privacy sections.

1.1.3

July 26, 2016

Built and optimised for iOS 9. Replaced the previous mapping engine, Faster Imaging maps, by Apple Maps. Multiple overlapping residences or images now show up in the map with an indicator of such - and how many.

1.1.2

May 27, 2015

Updated for iOS8. Fixed a bug that could cause old map data to be stuck in the local cache when new data were pushed on the server. This would cause previously visited areas to have gray background while the census data and historical images would still appear.

1.1.0

November 9, 2013

Historical images are now available directly in the map! The images originate from the DigitaltMuseum project and provide the actual picture, its position in the map, the name of the photographer, the date it was taken and a short description. To ease finding relevant information (there is quite a bit of it now) it is possible to enable / disable the two map layers (images and the 1910 census) independently through a control panel in the map.

Description of ÆtteForsker Pro

ÆtteForsker is an app that gives a detailed overview of Norway around 1900 using the 1910 census and historical images. Browse cities and rural areas looking for relatives and family, see the kind of professions people would have and even historical images directly in the map. People or locations of relevance may be added under "Relatives" for easy access later. Findings placed under "Relatives" may be exported via mail using the gedcom 5.5 format. The app displays all residences of the 1910 census that have been located in the map. The census is administrated by the Norwegian Digital Archives and its data are continually improved in terms of mass and accuracy. Also on the map are historical images from the DigitaltMuseum project. The two map layers are independent and may be switched on or off through an easily accessible control panel. In addition to manually searching the map for residences, it is possible to perform geographical searches in ever-increasing radius starting at the current map position. The search may be paused to inspect partial results, and filtered using a text field.
