<p>I am having trouble reading the marriage record for my great grandparents. It looks like my great grandmother is from a place called Solwatorp. They were married in Tumberg, Alvsborg, Sweden. Does this sound like a name anyone recognizes? I would like to try to find her birth record on ArkivDigital. Thanks, Dana</p>

<p>I moved this discussion to its own thread because the Wall suddenly got busy and it will be hard to follow there. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> Persberg Gruvor [Persberg Mines] is a very old mining area near Filipstad in Värmland about 200 km west of Stockholm. Use Google to find some pictures. The parish may be Färnebo which is where some of my ancestors lived. (by the way Persberg is pronounced more like Pers-berry). </p>

<p> I really recommend not doing research while traveling on vacation. Research is very time consuming and there is too much to see. Most of the common records are on line. Do lots of research before you get there.</p>
<p> General comments</p>
<p>o Avoid the month of August, national vacation month in Sweden. Half of the country will be out and about. Hotels will be booked, vacation spots full of people. </p>
<p>o Do your homework, study everything before you go.</p>
<p>o In Stockholm days are long in July... sun goes down about 10.30</p>
<p> My travels in 2005 (early July)... we were on a budget, so call us frugal travelers. We flew to Stockholm (Arlanda) arriving 9.30 at night. Too late to find a place to stay so we had reserved a motel (Scandic) near the airport (20 miles out of town) for one night. Next morning back to the airport and took high speed train into Stockholms Centralstation. Went to Turistbyrå right in the station. Bought a day pass for public transportation in Stockholm... a bargain and no figuring out fares and zones... good for all subways, busses and trams. I think they also have 3-day pass. Ask lots of questions... they are good and they speak English. Do not drive in Stockholm. We stayed the next night at Långholmen, the former Alcatraz of Sweden. It is a vandrarhem (hostel) and hotel. We stayed vandrarhem and brought our own sheets (but you can rent them). Wonderful place to stay on a budget. We did not reserve a room ahead (risky). You stay in a cell on bunks. We took the subway there and walked about a quarter mile.</p>
<p> After one day in Stockholm, we took the high speed train back to the airport and picked up our rental car. Headed for countryside west. You need a rental car for the countryside, not the least to have a place to keep your stuff in the trunk.</p>
<p> Before leaving Långholmen, we reserved two more nights for our return trip. Again, no car in the city. Too crazy. Parking is a big problem and expensive like any big city. </p>
<p> Out in the country, we stayed at vandrarhem or bed/breakfast or relatives. (Just about all places to stay include breakfast).</p> wahlentag:www.genealogywise.com,2012-12-21:3463583:Topic:4759452012-12-21T22:32:53.304Zbeverley whitinghttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/beverleywhiting

<p>August Carlson and wife Emma C. ( C. for maiden name which was also Carlson) emigrated about 1888 -1891 period to Worcester, Massachusetts. Marriage appears to be 1888. Origins in Sweden may be Skaraborg, Dalarnas. Birth of August is February 1860. Birth of Emma C. is May 1864. These are my paternal great-grandparents. Any comments/tips on finding information on their place of origin in Sweden is very appreciated.</p>
