Soskenflokken: Sibling Relationships in Norway (Part I of III)
Though there has been extensive research on sibling relationships across both time and culture, the literature on the Norwegian søskenflokk (sibling-flock) is surprisingly absent, or at least underrepresented. Despite the fact that Norwegian genealogical research is "sibling heavy" in comparison with the pedigrees of other ethnicities, though biographies and memoirs are filled with explanations of birth order and references to sibling relationships, there has been, to my knowledge, no systematic attempt to account for meanings of sibling structures in the Norwegian context.
