Introduction to the Swedish Church Books - new webinar by Kathy Meade now available

2015-11-17-swedenchurch

Curious about your Swedish Ancestors?
The Swedish church books are usually the first Swedish records that one uses when tracing one’s Swedish roots. These records are a “gold mine” because they are so complete and contain such detailed information. This webinar will:
  • Give an overview of the Swedish church records
    • births
    • marriages
    • deaths
    • household examination records
    • and records of movement.
Using a case study, a demonstration will show how one can use the church books to trace one’s Swedish heritage.
