Free access to Arkiv Digital is being offered this weekend, allowing you to access the records you are seeking. See the promotional information below from an email I recently received:

"ArkivDigital is probably the largest private digital archive in Sweden related to family research and we have just passed the 31 million images from more than 127.000 volumes of church book materials among a lot of other records. This represents about 7 shelf kilometers of documents.

Free Swedish Genealogy research with ArkivDigital this weekend

During the next weekend from Saturday Nov 12th until Sunday Nov 13th we offer everyone free access to our image database. Take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with ArkivDigital and what we have to offer.

Special price on “1 Year” subscription
ArkivDigital 1 year for only 995 SEK approx. 151 USD (regular price is 1195 SEK approx. 181 USD). This is a great opportunity to subscribe to ArkivDigital for a low price and it can be purchased between November 8th and November 20th.

How do I research for free this weekend?
Register at: http://www.arkivdigital.net/users/register
Then you need to install our software ADOnLine: http://www.arkivdigital.net/products/adonline/installation and follow the instructions there.

When ADOnLine is installed you will find a new icon on your desktop named ADOnLine2. Double-click the icon and the program will start. Log in with your email (username) and the password you chose when you registered.

In the program you will find a list of parishes, courts, and other record holder's name on the left side. You may search for your parish directly in the search field or scroll the list. Click on the parish (or other record holder's name) on the left side and all accessible volumes for that parish will pop up in a list on the right side. Double-click the volume you want to study and the first picture of that volume will open in a new window.

Please let us know if there is any problem with your registration or opening the program!"

I'm not affiliated with Arkiv Digital but have used their records in the past. Try it for free this weekend and consider a subscription if you need to access more records over a longer period of time.

I have tried to get to see the church book AI - 8, page 92 but I can't. Is it possible for you to tell me who is listed for the family at this time. I want to be sure I have all the children I would really appreciate it. I have found the family in an earlier church book. Thank you in advance.

Comment by Lorraine Fielder on November 4, 2011 at 3:36pm: Does any one have access to the Bitterna Churchbook Husförhörslängd AI - 8, page 92 . I cannot acces it, I can only get AI-5.

Thanks

Comment by Barbara Wells on November 3, 2011 at 7:10pm: Hello, I'm hoping to get a clue about my great-great grandmother. Her obituary says she was born Lovisa Larsdtr on 10 August 1845 and was married to L. Joneson in Sweden. They had 2 children, Sophie and Carl, and emigrated in 1869. Sophie died at sea. Mr. Joneson died before 1874. Lovisa then married my great-great grandfather, John Fredrick Johansson and they settled in Polk County, Wisconsin. Both of these great-great grandparents are said to have been born in Mariestad, Stockholm??!! I did find good records for JFJ in Djurö, Torsö, Skaraborg. Don't know where the Stockholm bit fits in. Perhaps Lovisa is not from Skaraborg, but rather Stockholm. Does anyone have any ideas about how to proceed? Thanks!

Comment by Lorraine Fielder on November 3, 2011 at 3:37pm: Ok, I think I've figured it out. I found the church book on Ancestry but I only see upto to AI:5.

I believe I have just found the marraige of Anders and Johanna on 4th Feb 1855 . Very exciting. Thank you

Comment by Lorraine Fielder on November 3, 2011 at 2:02pm: I am sorry for my ignorance. Can I see this on line? you are being so patient with me.

Comment by Annelie Jonsson on November 3, 2011 at 1:59pm: Book Bitterna AI:8 page 92 is the Churchbook Husförhörslängd.

Comment by Lorraine Fielder on November 3, 2011 at 1:26pm: Annelie, what is this book?

Comment by Annelie Jonsson on November 3, 2011 at 1:17pm: Lorraine: The Karte you refer to is short for the farm Kartegården. You find the family in Book Bitterna AI:8 page 92.
