Here is a short presentation about family
research, that with a more delicate words also can be called genealogical
research.
I will also show some of my results I so far have reached after only a few years research. (See the swedish language version about my research)
I have only been active for some years, but have become so interested, and now I am on the road. |

The church be on the point of order the people Sweden is a well organized society where authorities keep up with your citizens through different kinds of person registers. This is not a modern phenomen, if any believed this. The church's position was very strong and it required the people that these among other thing learnt the Christian faith. In order to check whether the people also followed this, priests begun early to have parish catechetical meetings and register the citizens in the villages. Therefor the priests wrote books where each individual's Christianity knowledge was noted. The State understood earlily the value of registrating the citizens among other thing in order to take out soldiers for the defence. The oldest well-known books are from 1680 and in 1686 the State introduced general national registration. Apart from Christianity knowledge , the church books are divided in different volumes. Here can be mentioned birth - and baptism books, dead - and funeral books. Other important documents for family research is also in emigration books. The publicity principle Due to the publicity principle in Sweden we also have rights to taking part of these books. 1900-century books are mostly left on the registrar's office, while older books are kept on respective regional archive. In order to ensure the books contents and secure a facilitate search in them, has most books also been filmed. These microfilms are for the whole country on several places. Among other thing, a rich archive is in Leksand, Släktforskarnas hous. In year 1991 was this registration moved from the church to the authorities. Begin research? Do you speculate on beginning family research? Begin then gladly with to interview and speak with older relatives about everything they remember. Then it can be good to read some appropriate book in Genealogy.
