As a start check http://genealogi.aland.net/discus/ where there's a discussion topic in English. However - Petterson is a very common Swedish name... If you know where in Sweden it might help you. regards /Johan Myrberger Phill wrote: > > Hi are there any swedish sites where i can serch for my relatives? > name of Petterson........thanks Maggie

I've checked the Detroit Lists. I don't remember the date they start, but it's much later than 1852.

My web-site, Slekt & historie (Genealogy & History) - http://www.borgos.nndata.no/ - has got many new pages: - about the Sami people (more will be added later), - fifteen pages telling about a big Romany (Gypsy) family, - and some more. Earlier I have added maps showing all municipalities and counties in Norway, and som basic statistics about each. The front pages (Norwegian and English) have got a face-lift (to the better, I hope). The rules are the same as before: - The contents are more important than the wrappings, - the user interface should be simple and clear, - downloading pages should be as fast as possible, - information in Norwegian _and_ in English, - no frames or pop-ups.

This is just my annual friendly reminder to s.g.n. that my internet-ionally known recipe for gloegg (Scandinavian mulled wine) is waiting for holiday revelers who want to celebrate the jultide season in true Nordic style. You can find the recipe at: http://www.manitouheights.org/rms/gloegg.shtml Skaal! Ruth ----- Ruth M. Sylte rsylte@usa.net Var ikkje moerket, saa visste me ikkje av stjerner - Ivar Aasen -- Ruth M.

Do you know of any online searchable indexes in the UK ? Much obliged.

Having successfully found Norwegian relatives through this newsgroup I'd like to try again for Swedish relatives. My grandfather, Andrew Nygård Erickson, left Garsås in 1891 for the US. My mother and aunt have visited relatives in Garsås 30-35 years ago but I believe they are now dead. Anders Erickson b. 17 Sept 1871 father Eric Hansson, mother Kertin Andersdtr. in Garsås, Mora.

On the Rootsweb Norway-L list, we have a Tolken project wherein we collect our files and share our efforts and thus have an upgrade available that is free to everyone. Note that this project is GENEALOGY based, and thus many of the words are archaic Norwegian, or Dansk-Norsk, etc., Bokmål and/or Nynorsk, etc. Also note that Tolken is NOT a dictionary; it was never intended to be, and simple space requirements prevent you from putting in lengthy descriptions for the words. Having words that can mean 7 different things depending on the rest of the sentence does not help either. In these cases, we tend to choose the most common meaning that we find in translating genealogical records. Or words that mean one thing in Bokmål and something else in Nynorsk does not help either. We do not recommend using Tolken to write a letter to Norway; again, it is a translating program only and cannot and does not handle the different grammatical structures. Ergo, the sentences will not be grammatically correct. One has only to translate a few Norwegian sentences to English to learn that there is a BIG difference in English and Norwegian grammar. But as an aide in translating Norwegian records or Bygdebøkers, it is worth far more than the price of the program! Ellen

There are normally a lot of people available here who can help you out. (Whole books take time though.) John Morten

Hi Listers, Regarding the Tolken 99 Translation Program that I recommended: I have used it extensively in geneaological research and have found it to be very helpful. There is an option in it, that if you select it, will show the many different options for the word you typed in. It can give one a very good idea of what the text says, but as was stated by several people, it may not be completely accurate. I HAVE found it to be better than nothing at all, and have translated much of a bygdebok from it! What else to do when you don't speak the language..? :) Regards, Debra
