Christopher Morgenstierne Munthe

Christopher Morgenstierne Munthe (1875–1939) was a Norwegian genealogist.

He was a son of Colonel and historian Hartvig Andreas Munthe (1845–1905). He was also a grandnephew of historian and cartographer Gerhard Munthe, a nephew of painter Gerhard Munthe, writer Margrethe Munthe and Major General Carl Oscar Munthe, and a first cousin of librarian Wilhelm Munthe and painter Lagertha Munthe.[1]

Before 1926 he was, together with Stian Herlofsen Finne-Grønn and Erik Andreas Thomle, a co-editor of the periodical Norsk tidsskrift for genealogi, personalhistorie, biografi og litteraturhistorie. This was Norway's first periodical on genealogy. In 1926 he was among the founders of the Norwegian Genealogical Society. The organization launched a new periodical, Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift.[2]
