    1. [SWEDEN] Suggestion from list members
    2. Lois Casson
    3. I heard from a long time list member who is currently a lurker. She made a very relavent suggestion. Awhile back, before Ancestry bought Genline and ArkivDigital came to be, we could not copy and paste source information when asking for help. We were instructed to write the location, parish/församling and county/län because the GID#/Genline Identification number was a page reference and didn't give a place identification. When someone omitted info they were reminded that there was a format for asking for help. With ArkivDigital it's easy to find sources with just a parish name, provided there aren't multiple parishes with the same name. Not everyone has AD. If the län isn't named you may not get help from some list members since they have to go to other reference sources to get the län name. And that is the suggestion/request that was made, please include the län in you queries. You never know when lines may intersect and you'll find a wealth of info. -- Lo in Flo Lois Kälander Casson Pensacola, Florida USA
