Hi, Mr. Anderson: I was waiting for a reply from you but I guess I missed it. I'm very sorry. Are you speaking of the Swedish website? I've looked at that and saw Larrs' name. I'm not sure it's free but if it isn't, I probably won't be able to join.…
Norma,
May I reword your question from Sep 19? You do not put .. over letters. You use unique letters Å Ä Ö. (They appear at the END of the Swedish alphabet, after Z and are not accents on letters they may look like to you.)
Please see the Learning…
Magnus, this site was a great help! Thanks.
I was able to copy the parish lists to a spreadsheet and sort them by County and district. It may not sound like much, but it helped me isolate those parishes closest to where the family came from. Given t…

Thanks alot for your help with this. I do have another question. How do I put the .. etc over the letters when typing them in?
I got my hands on a book --A History of New Sweden-- by Israel Acrelius. Interesting. The book was first published in1759. It is a somewhat contemporary history. It was first published in English in 1874.
On a web site I see descendents can join th…
My K-Swedish surname is KULLIN... My grandmother's maiden name was Hilma Charlotta Kullin, which doesn't appear to follow the Swedish patronymic system of naming. Could there be a different national derivation? Or is Kullin a more common name in Swe…
The information on Sven came from his son Elmer b.15 Oct 1892. in Brockton, Plymouth, Massachusetts, and from a short bio from the Swedish Congreational Church (written in Swedish which I had a friend translate for me).
On the map I would be willin…
Norma,
Lynn did a good job explaining to you about the different parts in the birthplace information.
So I will not say anything about that.
The best place to check for different locations on a map online is as Lynn wrote Eniro.
Here is the link f…
Jim,
Some people who do a lot of Swedish research often abreviate the husförhörslängd as HFL for obvious reasons. HFL was essentially a once-a-year census of every person in Sweden beginning early 1700s. It is a gold mine! These records were contemp…
