Thanks Annelie for the facebook tip!
Your Swedish Roots is the best one to start learning from and takes you through step by step. Cradled in Sweden is more technical but has information that is not readily available elsewhere. I recommend that you splurge and get them both if possible…
Sonja, Yes, Cradled in Sweden is available and excellent, as is Your Swedish Roots. The two "Bibles" for Swedish study. I have a good map of the Skaraborg Parishes, but you still will need to have some knowledge of where in that county they came fro…
Oops, try this--
I research mainly in Floby Parish and surrounding Parish areas of Skaraborgs Lan and also some in Loftahammar, Kalmar Lan Sweden. My blog, Those Old Memories often has stories and pics of Swedish ancestors or research.
Those Old Me…
My husbands ancestors are mostly all from the Floby area, Skaraborgs, Vastergotland, Sweden. I research several Parishes adjacent - as well as some near Loftahammar, Kalmar Lan.
I have two blogs as follows: The first one listed below often has stori…
This group is for anyone who have interest in former Skaraborg county in Sweden.
You are welcome to post in the "Diskussion Forum" which Your parish belong to.
Please respect to just do queries in the Forum your parish belong to.
Kathleen, glad this helped you! USGenWeb really is a great "tool" and so often underused. As stated before, some counties are much better than others so my advice to everyone is: don't give up if at first one does not turn out to be so great. Record…
Learning lots about Skaraborgs Lan and having a great time with it. Have not had as much time as I would like to work on family since Christmas. Have had great luck in tracing the family there though.These Swedes are my husbands line but I love work…
Some of the regular keys should have numbers on them just like a keypad configuration, if you are using a laptop, look close they should be there. Mine is a gateway and I have to hit Fn and the Scroll lock key to activate the numerical keypad--THEN…
I do remember Falkoping fondly. It was a long skinny town with a windmill next to the tracks (Goteborg-Stockholm line). A very old church in the centrum and the Saturday market in torget. Sailplanes taking off from the airfield off to the east. It w…
Patrick,
Annelie has the correct record and I did not on the first try! It's a very hard one to read for sure. The only thing I can add is under witnesses, there is a (hustru) Maria and a (pigan)Stina. I can not make out their last names. I believe…
Patrick,
Did you get the help needed form Leif to read the record ? I can make out most of the record so let me know if you still need help. Cheri
Pat, I will check this out on Thursday and see if I can do anything with it. It is 4 am here and I heading to bed. Will get back to you and I am sure a couple others here will look at it also. It never hurts to have more than one opinion on difficul…
Barbara,
Are you looking for access for Heritage Quest which I think is a ProQuest holding of sorts? Access to Heritage Quest data bases is what is offered by most libraries. If your library does not have it available with your library card, there a…

- Hi: I see that you are interested in the Harshbarger line. I have a database of over 12,000 names. If I can help you find any info, just let me know. I would love to add the info you may have to my database also. I have been trying for about 30 years to tie together the five known Harshbarger men that came to the US.
