Sweden Genealogy Genline Workbook
Translation Skills
Some records are impossible to read for many reasons. You may find the
correct volume
and even the right page where details are written that you need to know, but
the
details may be impossible to read.
Some pages that were photographed in the 1950-1960's and digitized just
recently are
very dark. Although some adjustment is possible in the screen image intensity,
some
pages will remain illegible. There's not much that can be done to make all
the
handwriting readable.
Another type of image which will be near impossible to read is one where
there is
bleed through from the other side of the page. And then there will be pages
with
lines through handwriting that makes the original data impossible to read.
This
often happens when a person or family moves from one parish to another.
The variety of handwriting ranges from beautifully flowing script with
ornate
flourishes to pitifully cramped pen scratches with too much ink. Eventually you
will
develop an eye for the handwriting.
When you definitely need a specific piece of data, but can not decipher it
yourself,
you may need to ask for help from an expert. Genline offers a service for a
certain
number if dollars per hour which seems reasonable. Perhaps researchers in Sweden
can
go to the original pages to get a better read on what you need. Regardless of
how they
do it, some help may be just enough to get on with your research. Find more
about this
service at Genline.

Fortunately much of the handwriting and most of the images are wonderful. In
fact, the
handwriting is a pleasure to read. And as I access a page of details about my
ancestors,
I often think that I may be the only person to have looked at these details in
over 100
or 200 years. Neat.

PARISH CATALOGS
Parish catalogs are available for most of the parishes in the following
län: Blekinge, Gävleborgs, Göteborgs och Bohus, Hallands, Jämtlands,
Jönköpings, Kalmar, Kopparbergs, Kronobergs, Norrbottens, Skaraborgs,
Södermanlands, Uppsala, Värmlands, Västerbottens, Västernorrlands, Västmanlands,
Älvsborgs, and Östergötlands. The parish catalog prices range
from $10.00 to $30.00, including sales tax, postage, and handling.
Please note that the parish catalogs do not contain actual
parish records with names of people. For information about actual parish
records, see PARISH RECORDS above. The parish catalogs are
indexes that tell you where on the microfiche (purchased separately) you
will find a specific village or farm. They contain only names of farms
and villages within a given parish. Note also that not every parish has
a parish catalog available. To see which parishes have catalogs
available and their prices, click here.
Parish catalogs also serve as handy lists of place names within
parishes, which will help you when trying to decipher names of farms and
villages within the records.
