Editing Lurøy Municipality (section)

==Geography and climate==
Lurøy is located on the western coast of [[Helgeland]]. The small strip of mainland Lurøy runs from [[Tonnes, Norway|Tonnes]] in the north along [[Norwegian County Road 17]] to [[Stokkvågen]] along the [[Sjona]] fjord in the south. The rest of the municipality is located on 1,375 islands located to the west of the mainland. The major islands include [[Aldra]], [[Lurøya, Nordland|Lurøya]], [[Onøya]], [[Stigen, Nordland|Stigen]], [[Solvær]], and [[Lovund]]. There are also two islands in the northern part of Lurøya that are divided between Lurøy and neighboring [[Rødøy Municipality]]: [[Nesøya, Nordland|Nesøya]] and [[Hestmona]].<ref name="snl">{{Cite web |last=Store norske leksikon |author-link=Store norske leksikon |title=Lurøy |url=http://snl.no/Lur%C3%B8y |access-date=2012-01-30 |language=Norwegian}}</ref> The highest point in the municipality is the {{convert|1172.7|m|adj=on}} tall mountain [[Strandtindan]], a [[tripoint]] on the border of Lurøy Municipality, [[Rødøy Municipality]], and [[Rana Municipality]].<ref name="elev" />

The populated islands are reached by car ferry from Stokkvågen on the mainland. The ferry reaches Onøy (which has a bridge to Lurøya), Solvær and Lovund 5 times per day.

===Climate===
The [[Norwegian Meteorological Institute]] has operated weather stations on [[Solvær]] islands since 1939. Data shows a [[marine west coast climate]] (oceanic climate) with very mild winters for the high latitude. Spring and summer are the driest seasons, while December is the wettest month. The all-time high was recorded in July 2018, and the all-time low is from February 1966. The average date for the last overnight freeze (low below {{convert|0|°C|1|abbr=on}}) in spring is 20 April<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 May 2012 |title=Siste frostnatt om våren |url=https://www.yr.no/artikkel/siste-frostnatt-om-varen-1.8119060}}</ref> and average date for first freeze in autumn is 5 November<ref>{{Cite web |date=25 September 2013 |title=Første frostnatt |url=https://www.yr.no/artikkel/forste-frostnatt-1.11261900}}</ref> giving a frost-free season of 198 days (1981-2010 average for Solvær).

===Farms of Lurøy===
Historically, the land of Lurøy was divided up into named farms. These farms were used in census and tax records and are useful for genalogical research. 

====Farm maps====
Note: Coordinates are approximate. The map has been divided into parts consistent with the [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/census/district_list/74260 enumeration districts] ({{langx|no|tellingskrets}}) in the 1920 census of Norway. This map will include one farm name per farm number; other farm names or subdivision numbers may exist.

====Farm names and numbers====
Following are the farms in Lurøy municipality, as they are listed in O. Rygh's series "[[Norske Gaardnavne]]" ("Norwegian Farm Names"), the Nordland volume of which was published in 1905.
:''See also:'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=4i5MAQAAIAAJ Digital version of Norske Gaardnavne - Nordland] {{in lang|no}}

The farm numbers are used in some census records, and numbers that are near each other indicate that those farms are geographically proximate. Handwritten Norwegian sources, particularly those prior to 1800, may use variants on these names. For recorded variants before 1723, see the digital version of O. Rygh.

Farm names were often used as part of [[Scandinavian_family_name_etymology#Norway|Norwegian names]], in addition to the person's given name and [[patronymic]] or inherited surname. Some families retained the farm name, or [https://www.kartverket.no/globalassets/til-lands/stadnamn/toponymic-guidelines-for-map-and-other-editors-norway.pdf toponymic], as a surname when they emigrated, so in those cases tracing a surname may tell you specifically where in Norway the family was from. This tradition began to change in the mid to late 19th century, and inherited surnames were codified into law in 1923.

If you can't find an entry when you are searching for a word that starts with AE, Ae, O, A or Aa, it may have been transcribed from one of those letters not used in English. Try looking for it under the Norwegian letter; Æ, Ø, and Å appear at the end of the [[Danish_and_Norwegian_alphabet|Norwegian alphabet]].
