Sweden has some of the best kept records in the world. I suggest you start a paid subscription at at http://www.genline.com/databasen/ This site will give you the actual parish records. http://www.algonet.se/%7Ehogman/swe_genealogy.htm gives a general run down of the terminology and what you can find http://www.rootsweb.com/~swewgw/sweggate.htm you can find lots of info there. On the rootsweb board you can ask translation question--well any kind of question. Janis

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will look into all of them. Not sure I can afford yet another paid subscription, but hopefully it is not too expensive. The terminology site should really help.
