2018-02-28-image500blog
The recording of today's webinar, "Find Your Roots in German Farm Histories” by Gail Blankenau is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for free for a limited time.
Webinar Description
Until the early 1900s, the majority of the population in the Germanic states was engaged in agriculture. Thus, most of us with Germanic heritage will have at least some ancestors engaged in farming. German farm customs were different from those in America and German farmers were tied to their land in ways that American farmers were not. Particularly in the earlier years, the history of your family's farm was integral to the history of your family.

Using Swedish Taxation Records to Solve Tough Genealogical Problems - free BCG webinar by Jill Morelli, CG now online for limited time

2018-02-20-image500blog
The recording of tonight's webinar by the Board for Certification of Genealogists, "Using Swedish Taxation Records to Solve Tough Genealogical Problems” by Jill Morelli, CG is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com/BCG for free for a limited time.
Webinar Description
Swedish taxation records, a head tax of individuals between the ages of 15 and 63, are some of the oldest extant records of the rural farmer. Genealogists quickly become familiar with the chronological birth/marriage/death parish records (Ministerial), the clerical surveys (Husförhör) and probate records (Bouppteckning). These documents form the bedrock of investigation into our Swedish past. These records may not, however, answer our more difficult research questions, especially those of the 18th century. This is where Swedish taxation records or mantalslÀngder may be of help. These little used records, but evidence rich documents, may corroborate or dispute our existing evidence, or may be the only source of evidence. We will learn how to access, read and use these records to answer those questions.
