Swedish Genealogy Research
Want to trace your Swedish roots but don't know where to begin? You don't know where your Swedish ancestor came from! Your ancestor changed his name! This presentation will present steps and tips on how to begin your Swedish research and how to overcome these obstacles. The presentation will include an overview of Swedish-American church records, emigration and passenger ship indexes, Swedish church records, tax and probate registers, and additional sources while presenting both the key archives and online sites for Swedish research. A demonstration of how to trace one's family history using Genline's Swedish Church Records Archive will be presented. The demonstration will include two case studies. Presenter — Kathy Meade, North American representative for Genline AB.
