Genline provides online access to images of the original Swedish Church Records from the 1600's to 1920. More than 17 million images or 34 million pages of the church books can be viewed online. Record types include births, marriages, deaths, registers of movement within and out of the parishes and the very detailed household examination books that are similar to a yearly census. With luck, you can trace 300 years of your Swedish family heritage using Genline!
Genline's new initiative, Bygdeband ties genealogy with local heritage research allowing these two groups of dedicated researchers to easily share information with each other. Bygdeband is a social networking archive developed in close cooperation with local heritage researchers and genealogists making it possible for local heritage societies to add digitalized material into an online archive.
The online availability of detailed information about places and people makes Bygdeband a historical treasure chest for local historical and genealogy researchers. Many local heritage societies possess a wealth of information in their archives about persons and places that is usually not easily accessible to the genealogist. By the digitalization and the addition of these materials to Bygdeband, the local heritage society’s archives become accessible anywhere in the world as long as one has access to the Internet.
Using Genline and Bygdeband, you can discover your family's Swedish roots as well as research the places where your ancestors lived!
