I promise that I”m not trying to make all of you non-Swede researchers jealous.
But I had to show you what a Swedish household register looks like. They are really amazing. Really.
The household registers changed formats over the years, but I’ll show you a couple from my own personal research, just so you can get an idea of what kind of information they showed.
First, here is a family in 1789: Yes, in 1789 they listed everyone in the household, each year!!
And in1831-1835. It lists their full birth dates. When they moved in or out of the parish (and where to/from). And their occupation among other things. Also, if they died, then it usually gives the death date. Isn’t it wonderful??
