Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genealogists researching their Swedish ancestors are fortunate to have an abundance of information-rich and accessible genealogical records. The Swedish church and state were meticulous record keepers and Sweden had little record loss compared to many other European countries. The gem of Sweden's great genealogical records is the husförhörslängder (Swedish household examination records), a sort of yearly census that can include just about any type of information on your ancestor beyond merely birth, marriage and death information. Entries may provide you with information on property ownership, occupation, moving in and out, health, taxation, military obligations, characteristics and behavior and much more. And many of these entries are a clues pointing you to additional documentation. While much of the information in the household examination records is straightforward and easy to understand, some entries can be confusing. Abbreviations are common, language can be difficult to understand, and without knowing what you are looking at you can miss important clues in your research.This book aims to provide researchers with additional background information in order to get the most out of your research. While many researchers focus only on the main demographic information that is standard, clues in the household examination records can be used to frame a solution to many of your most difficult brick-wall problems.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the first Swedish-born immigrants to Oregon began settling in the 1850s, Swedes have had a big impact on its development. Among the first immigrants was shoemaker Carl M. Wiberg, who arrived in the summer of 1852 and settled in Portland. By 1930, roughly 45 percent of all Swedish immigrants were living in the Portland metro area. Other areas of Swedish settlement included Astoria, Coos Bay, Tillamook, southwestern Oregon, and Morrow County. At first, the Swedish language was the unifying force among the immigrants. Today, it is the celebration and sharing of Swedish traditions and culture. There are many reasons why Swedes were attracted to the United States, including religious freedom, better economic conditions, and, for young men, escaping compulsory military service. Many immigrant Swedes did not come directly to Oregon but were attracted to the state and its employment opportunities after the completion of the transcontinental railroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So your grandparents are dead, and you didn't get around to asking them what things were like for the family when they came to the United States. Many people say, "If only I could have heard their stories before they died." Millions of us are descendents of the great influx of northern Europeans between 1860 and 1920 and most know little about why they came and what conditions were like here. This book will serve as a substitute history for many people because the conditions that caused them to come and the conditions they faced here were very similar, particularly for the Swedes and Norwegians who flocked in large numbers to the American Midwest between 1860 and 1920.
