Sweden Genealogy Genline Workbook
Genline Methods
Here is a flow chart giving the general pattern of searches.
To enter the records for the first time there are required facts:
Swedish name of a person - Birth date - Län - Parish - Farm - Date lived there.
O
Go to the Household Examination Record for Date, Län, Parish, Farm.
Reason: to verify or find the birthplace and Swedish name of the person.
O
Go to the birth volume for the person.
Reason: to find the names of the parents and the name of the farm where they
lived.
O
Go to the Household Examination Record of the birth year of the person.
Reason: to find the Swedish name, birth parish, and birth date of each parent.
O
O
Go on to do this for the father. Go on to do this for the mother
O
O
Repeat over and over again. Repeat over and over again.
Be patient as you work through the records. There are volumes which are
difficult
to read. There are volumes that are missing. There are parish records that
have
been consolidated over time. There are records that are beautifully written in
a
fine hand. There are records that are extremely difficult to read due to
the
handwriting. And all manner of handwriting in between.
Southern Sweden Online
Before you pay for a subscription, be sure the parishes you need for your
research are available through Genline. Further, check out the information
that is online for the Southern parishes in Sweden. These parishes have
most
of the church records data entered on the internet and Genline may not be
needed.
Translation Skills
Your knowledge of the Swedish language will eventually grow from what you
know
now to more than you know now. But a knowledge of not more than 100 Swedish
words
will be helpful to successfully interpret most of the entries in church
records
back to the late 1700's. Earlier records before that period seem often to
be
written in a text format which obviously requires skill at Swedish
language
translation.
Follow these links to receive an education in the use of Genline. You will
be taken to the Genline website in Sweden. Depending on your internet connection
and time of day, the speed may vary for connection.

Sweden
Genealogy Genline Workbook
Available April 2006, this step-by-step workbook will help you identify and
locate your Swedish ancestors. With a computer connected to the internet,
thousands of resources are waiting to help you discover your pedigree. The
recently completed digitization of Swedish church records by Genline
opens the volumes of church records for even the smallest of villages for you to
pursue the records to identify your ancestors.
You will be assisted in finding the name, birth month and year of your
immigrant ancestors. Then these details are used to identify the parish from
which each immigrant ancestor originated before coming to North America. Once
the parish of origin is known through investigation, the real hunt begins for
the parents of each person. Then the hunt continues for their parents. And on
and on.
You can expect to go back 6 generations or more depending on your diligence
and patience.
