Swedish Genealogy

This page is all about Swedish genealogy for the English as well as Swedish speaking audience. Sweden has a population of 9 million people today but during the 19th century about half of the population emigrated, mainly to the US, especially around the lake area but they also travelled to other locations around the world. If you have Swedish ancestors and are interested in Swedish genealogy, perhaps this site can help with your family tree and tracing your roots. If you want to link to this site, please do (we are always willing to exchange links - just send us an email).

Church Records

The Swedish church records date back to the 16th century. There is a lot more to them than, for example, English church records. Not only do the Swedish church records contain the baptisms, burials and marriages they also contain births, deaths, examinations, confirmations as well as records of who moved in and who moved out of a parish. If the church minister was very nosy (as often they were) there might also be detailed information on individuals that comes in handy when adding flesh to the skeleton of the family tree.

The records are organised on a parish by parish of the Swedish Church bases. Sweden also has 25 old counties. These counties have changed in the last few decades a few time but for genealogical purposes the old counties are still used.
