This is so helpful-thank you!! I keep returning to my grandfather’s family when researching, but get bogged down in the language difference and don’t really stick to it like I should. He was from Luleå in Norbotten, just south of the Arctic Circle, which is actually very helpful to me. Since the area is very depopulated, and was even more so a hundred years ago when he left for Chicago, it’s easier to track his ancestors. Having your explanation of the parish records is great help.
EDIT: Of course when I'm explaining the difference between European and American dates, I get the two mixed up! Dates are written as DAY/MONTH - not month/day as I erroneously said at minute mark 6:50!
very much appreciated - I am studying Paleography and learning to read Scandinavian records. Your video is helpful to break down the books and make sense of the records. I look forward to watching more :)
Love your videos! This was very helpful. I am looking at a record for my ancestor and in the Moved-In column for the place/page number, it only has numbers. On this particular document it has the numbers " 55,3 - 77 " The "3" is half as tall as the "55" and the "77" and there is no space on either side of the comma. The year is 75 and the certificate number is 127. I don't know why it has a comma and why the "3" is small...possibly subscripted or superscripted??? All the other entries on this document and several other documents are listed in the same manner. I have not found a record for my ancestors yet that has a "p" or "pag" for page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for posting this and the other videos!!!
Thank you for this video

Thank you for your help with the examination records.

Well Done explaing swedish husförhörslängder 👍 Let me know if I can help with any swedish translation.
I have on mine Enk. And H.oä.s and I don’t know what those mean. I think like grandson or something
So why are some of the names marked out?
Names were crossed out when the people left the parish, or died. You can figure out where they went by referencing the "flyttat" column
