information for Sweden Genealogy Genline Workbook.
Sweden
Genealogy Genline Workbook
Available now, 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.

see the pedigree developed by the author David
Ullian Larson.
