Using Swedish Tax Records to Solve Tough Genealogical Problems
Saturday, March 23
Using Swedish Tax Records to Solve Tough Genealogical Problems  (Programs)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Jill Morelli - Live Hybrid Webinar (recorded)
When conducting Swedish research, genealogists quickly become familiar with chronological birth/marriage/death parish records (Kirkenborger), household examination (Husförhör), and estate inventories (Bouppenking).  These documents, coupled with emigration records and comprehensive research within the United States, form the bedrock of investigation into the 1800s. We may encounter gaps, early termination of records, or challenging penmanship. The Swedish taxation records, or mantalslängder, also called the “population register,” may be of help.  These little used records may, in fact, be the only source of evidence in certain situations, especially in the 1700s. We will explore what these records are, how to read them and the types of problems they can solve.
