Do you, too, have family in Sweden? When your grandparent boarded the ship for North America or Australia, perhaps he or she left brothers and sisters behind in Sweden. If so, their children and grandchildren, your Swedish relatives, might be wondering about you, wanting to find you, but not know how and where. The reality is that it's much easier for you to find them in Sweden than for them to find you. But you might need some help! I have worked with Swedish genealogical research for many years, and have much experience and knowledge when it comes to finding families here in Sweden. In fact, there are few cases where I have not found a relative in Sweden! I’m very familiar with Swedish archives, church records, and most important, the Swedish language, the one I grew up with!
An initial consultation -
for free! Here is the information I need from you:
Here is an example of
what I need from you: 1. Emigranten, especially Emihamn, based upon the Swedish passenger lists, when people boarded the ship, usually in Göteborg or Malmö. This is quite complete, but starts only around 1869. 2. Emibas, an incomplete (unfortunately) database of emigrants, with information taken from the church records. Often very useful when you know the emigrant’s date of birth (if he or she is included, of course) 3. Sveriges befolkning (Swedish census) from 1890 or 1900 More
research - for a fee Perhaps your grandfather emigrated, while several of his siblings stayed in Sweden, had children and grandchildren, who are probably alive today. Of course, all of them might have emigrated too, and maybe one sister died in infancy and the others never had any children. Then there are no descendants from any of your grandparent’s siblings! You might now decide to do no more. You have learned much about your grandparent’s family: names, dates and places of birth of both parents and siblings - and you know what happened to the siblings. You might also decide to continue your research, with one of grandpa’s parents, perhaps his mother: the names of her parents (date and place of birth) and her siblings. Perhaps you even want to follow these siblings forward in time, to see if they stayed in Sweden and had children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, a rather involved research. So now that you have found the descendant of grandmother's sisters grandchildren, or your great grandmother's brother's great grandchildren and you want to make contact with them. In my experience, the more closely related you are to them, the more interested they are. Of course, Swedes with interest in genealogy are always interested! Prices for my research
