About SGSM

Founded in March 1983, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 91-2104943), and a branch of the Minnesota Genealogical Society. Membership in the Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota is open to everyone interested in celebrating Swedish genealogy, history & culture. Our bylaws state that the purpose of our organization shall be to:
  • Encourage interest in and expand knowledge of Swedish ancestry and heritage
  • Exchange ideas relating to genealogical research and methodology
  • Provide instruction on topics of interest to members
  • Expand awareness of Swedish society and culture
  • Encourage the research and writing of family, emigration/immigration and settlement histories, and publication of Swedish genealogical material
  • Promote multigenerational interest in Swedish genealogy and preservation of research
We have informative and engaging programs, quarterly newsletter and research and translation help. Also, Swedish Research Day is the 3rd Thursday of every month (except December) at the MGS Library staffed with our experienced research team.
