[[Category:House_of_Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg]][[Category: House of Glücksburg]][[Category: House of Oldenburg]][[Category:Denmark_Project]] [[Category: Danish Nobility]] This free space was created by Project Denmark as a place where any user of Wikitree can contribute to collaborative research and the drafting of well sourced biographies for members of the Danish royal family beginning with Christian I, the first Danish monarch of the House of Oldenburg who was elected king of Denmark in 1448. While the Kalmar Union was not dissolved until 1523 when Frederick I became king, it makes logical sense to go back one generation to his father, Christian I, the first monarch of the House of Oldenburg. Contributions will be evaluated by Project Denmark and the European Aristocrats Project. Once a consensus is reached by these projects that information contributed is sufficiently sourced and accurate, it will be added to the project protected profiles. ----------------------------------- =Interested Projects and Their Guidelines= *[[Project:Denmark|Project Denmark]] - This project has no guidelines specifically applicable to nobles or royalty, but it does provide general guidelines for Danish names and use of Wikitree name fields to accommodate Danish names.

[[Project:Nordic#How_to_help|Back to Nordic Project Page]]
[[Category: Nordic Project]] '''This page is currently under construction. More will be added here soon.''' Both templates and stickers usually create an image+text on the profile and sometimes also adds a category to a profile. Since the sub-projects Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden already have templates and stickers created, those will be continued to use for each country. == Templates and stickers used on Nordic profiles == === Templates === '''Templates should be added above the text section of the edit page, i.e. above the Biography headline.''' These templates add the profile to a category. They should always be added above the Biography heading. ==== Project Box ====

{{Denmark}}	{{Norway}}
{{Finland}}	{{Sweden}}
{{Iceland}}

The examples of project boxes, as can be seen above, is a template that '''should only be used on profiles that have any of the country sub-projects as manager'''. These profiles will be listed in the ''category page'' for the specific (sub-)project. If you think a profile would benefit from having a project as manager, please let us know. (There will also be a profile box made for the Nordic Project a bit later on.) ---- ==== Unsourced Template ==== {{Unsourced|Sweden}} : Using the Unsourced Template on a profile results in the box shown above being added to the profile. It can also be used for an unsourced profile to be added to the list of unsourced profiles for a specific country. : As an example, using {{Unsourced|Sweden}} would add the orange box and text above to the profile, as well as adding the profile to the [[:Category: Sweden, Unsourced Profiles ]]. : The country "Sweden" can be exchanged with any of the other Nordic countries. Currently, there are unsourced categories for Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. : Please add {{Unsourced|Country of choice}} to the profile, '''above''' the == Biography == heading. ---- === Stickers === : '''Profile Stickers go in the text section of the edit page, below the Biography headline'''. There should be no extra hard returns above or below it, and no horizontal rules (----). : They are usually placed directly below the Biography headline, but they can be placed anywhere in the biography section, such as near where the information being highlighted is discussed. They are usually grouped together but they can be spread out. : They should not be placed in or below the Sources section. ---- ===== Country Sticker ===== {{Danish Native}} {{Finland Sticker}} {{Iceland Sticker}} {{Norway Native}} {{Sweden Sticker}} : These are the stickers available for people who was either born or living in any of these Nordic countries. For example, the Swedish one is to be used on profiles who lived and died in Sweden. : They can be used on a profile by adding {{Danish Native}} {{Finland Sticker}} {{Iceland Sticker}} {{Norway Native}} {{Sweden Sticker}} : For Finland, you can also choose the language for the sticker. For a biography in Finnish, please use {{Finland Sticker|lang=fi}} by adding {{Finland Sticker|lang=fi}} and for a biography in Swedish, please use {{Finland Sticker|lang=sv}} {{Finland Sticker|lang=sv}} : It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ===== Roots Sticker ===== {{Danish Roots}} {{Finnish_Roots}} {{Icelandic Roots}} {{Norway_Roots}} {{Swedish Roots}} : The Roots sticker may be used for any non-resident of the specifik Nordic country who has been identified as having ancestry from that country, including active WikiTree members. : It can be used on a profile by adding any of these stickers; {{Danish Roots}} {{Finnish_Roots}} {{Icelandic Roots}} {{Norway_Roots}} {{Swedish Roots}} : The sticker should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ===== Notables Sticker ===== {{Notables Sticker|Sweden, Notables}} : The Notables sticker can be used with the country added to it. The country will not be seen in the sticker text but it will add the profile to the category of notables for that country. For example, this {{Notables Sticker|Sweden, Notables}} will add the profile to [[:Category: Sweden, Notables]]. : It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ===== Nobility Sticker===== {{EuroAristo Sticker|place=Sweden}} : The EuroAristo sticker can be used with the country added to it. However, this will not add the profile to any category since the profile should be added to the category for the house the profile belong to. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{EuroAristo Sticker|place=Sweden}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ===== Migrating Ancestor ===== : The migrating sticker can be used on the profiles of Nordic emigrants (or immigrants). It will not add the profile to any category. {{Migrating Ancestor |origin= Sweden |destination= Minnesota, USA |origin-flag= Swedish_Flags-41.png |destination-flag= US_Flags-20.png }} : This is an example of how it can be used on a profile by adding;
: {{Migrating Ancestor
: |origin= Sweden
: |destination= Minnesota, USA
: |origin-flag= Swedish_Flags-41.png
: |destination-flag= US_Flags-20.png}}
: It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. Be sure to not leave out {{ and }} in the beginning and end. : For more [[:Template:Migrating_Ancestor| info on the template and where to find flag images]]. ----

That includes adding new location categories, including the Location CIB and other useful info text. Ongoing tasks for the members of this team are: * To view and help work on the Category Error Reports (see below) * Monitor the "Pending Categories" for each country * Helping members by adding new categories and answer questions regarding categories and categorisation. == Category Error Reports == Using the Category Navigator may actually be the easiest way to find category errors for a specific country. See the links to the Navigator of each country under the heading "Country specific info" further below. These are the reports for ALL [[DBE Categories Suggestions]], regardless location or topic.

This leaves a lot that are still junky and need to be cleaned up. : Some members might also be part of other teams, like the Nordic Sourcing Team, and take on a more thorough approach to improving each profile. : Some members may only have time to add the biography heading or the unsourced template. Every little bit helps and is appreciated. : Any member of this team (or anyone not on this team, feel free to pitch in) can work from maintenance categories for gedcom cleanup, work on profiles from a specific gedcom import or go through the DBE Suggestions related to gedcoms. Any approach will improve Nordic profiles!

This is where the Nordic Gedcom Scrap Team can help make a difference! == How to clean gedcoms == * [[:Help:GEDCOM-Created_Biographies]] * [[Space:DBE_851|DBE 851 - GEDCOM uncleaned Interpret date]] * [[Space:DBE_852 |DBE 852 - GEDCOM uncleaned Parse Lastname]] * [[Space:DBE_853|DBE 853 - GEDCOM Junk]] == Tools and resources == * [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-7_eMusH4DMrt7oBGAK3ufwP1d21z__K4cJEhEzYoY8/edit Nordic Project Gedcoms spreadsheet] (Updated 24 July 2022) *Please use caution when using the [[Space:WikiTree_AGC|Automatic Gedcom Cleanup tool]] **There is a default user option to make the husband's LNAB the current last name that must be UNCHECKED when using this for most Nordic profiles. **Please also uncheck the Remove the Gedcom import information option * BioCheck - Great for showing what's unsourced but not marked unsourced.

They have certain criteria for publishing a Gedcom on their spreadsheet and those need to be handled a little differently. Karin_Blood_Ged is the only one as of May 2022. If you are going to work on a profile for a GedImprove Gedcom, please open the GedImprove [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lb3xHy9X2lIYuFhSSjke18KQ0-SUQUX8oc070d66Qog/edit?usp=sharing spreadsheet], find the tab for the Gedcom and put your name in the reviewer column next to the profile you're working on. When you've finished with the GedImprove checklist (or as much of it as you intend to do), go back to the spreadsheet and pick a status from the reviewer status columnand enter a comment in the reviewer comment column. The goal of the comment is for the project to be able to tell if they can call that profile done or not. Gedi-challenge channel on Discord https://discord.gg/9EMSdccnn3 == Tasks == These are the different things that can be done. One person doesn't have to do all of them for each profile. The Gedcom name shouldn't be removed until all are done (if post 1700), however. *Review ? profiles in Biocheck and add the country appropriate unsourced template. You can do two countries in one unsourced template if needed: Unsourced|Sweden|Estonia with two squiggly brackets around it. *Clean up the junk! **Only profiles with 3 or more "junk" heading show up in the suggestion reports so biocheck is the easiest way to see the others **Using the [[Space:WikiTree_AGC|AGC]] app is the fastest way to do this. Most of the time with one click of a button, it's clean. *Work on profiles by location (or no location) and Gedcom **BirthCountry=Denmark GedFile=Williams_AndersForWikiTree_ged can be pasted into the text search on Wikitree + or the search text box in Biocheck. You can mix and match countries and Gedcoms! **Many profiles don't have a country in the location fields and many of those are Nordic. You can use BirthCountry=UnknownCountry or BirthLocation=MissingLocation with the GedFile= and add countries. **You can also do a find a replace from Wikitree + for a faster way if many locations are the same and only missing the country. Find a replace will only replace the end of a location. *Categories can be added at any time. Maintenance categories, parish categories, migration categories, etc. *If a profile is post 1700, clean (no junky headers) with appropriate information and at least one primary source, you can and should remove the Gedcom information. This applies to Nordic profiles only, other projects may have different guidance. Suggested comment to add: This profile was cleaned and sourced by the Nordic Gedcom Scrap Team. has been removed. '''If it's pre-1700''', we need to keep the Gedcom name. You can, if you like, shorten the statement under acknowledgements to just the Gedcom name. == Gedcom Suggestion Lists == *'''For all Active real time suggestion lists, you will need to press the blue

To work on profiles for people who left the Nordic countries and connect them to family in both their old country as well as family in their new country. If you are interested, you can help out either sourcing the Nordic side or work on finding sources for a person in their new homeland. We also work on profiles for people who came to the Nordic countries with origin in another country. The work done will be beneficial for the whole global tree if we can find more connections between different countries. '''What do members of this team do?'''
We improve emigrant profiles not only in accordance with WikiTree styles and standards but also in consideration of relevant standards of each Nordic country project. That means: * Correct spelling (using Nordic special letters) and add additional spelling variants to "Other last names" so the profile can be found in both countries and avoid duplicates. * Adding reliable sources in both countries so it is certain it is the same person * Writing biographies and translating biographies if needed * Adding research notes if necessary, for example explaining an extra name in addition to patronymic last name * Adding relevant categories and stickers '''Team Members:'''

But the major part of Swedish emigration took place between 1860-1930 when 1,200,000 Swedes left for North America with dreams and hopes for a better life. Of course, there have been emigrants before the 1800s as well, the colony Nya Sverige/New Sweden along the Delaware River in the 1600s is one example. A wave of migration from Finland took place around the turn of the 20th century for similar reasons. According to the Migration Institute of Finland, over 300,000 Finns moved to North America at this time. In the period ranging from the 1950s to the 1970s, 400,000 Finns moved to Sweden[https://siirtolaisuusinstituutti.fi/en/research/emigration/ Migration Institute of Finland: Overview of Research], accessed Jan 31, 2022. For Iceland, about 20% of the population emigrated during the latter part of the 18th century and into the 19th century, mainly to Brazil, Canada and America.

[[Category:Nordic Project]] :'''Navigation: [[Project:Nordic|Nordic Project]]''' > Name Field Guidelines This page contains a brief description for the use of Name fields on WikiTree profiles as they relate to the Nordic Project and its geographical Country teams and Early Scandinavia team. Source documents should always be used to determine what names are to be used. If you find your situation is not covered by existing guidelines, please contact someone from the Nordic Project's [[Space:Nordic Project - Leadership Team|Leadership Team]]. ==Use of WikiTree Name Fields Across the Nordic Countries== *'''Proper First Name:''' All given names should be placed in this field. e.g. Christiana Marie. Middle names are rarely used prior to the modern era in most countries. Please see the appropriate Country Guidelines for your specific situation. *'''Preferred Name:''' This is the name that they would have called themselves, or were called by their family members. e.g. Christiana instead of Christiana Marie. *'''Last Name At Birth:''' It is important to remember that Patronyms are considered a Last Name on WikiTree. In most cases, the Patronym should be placed in this field. Please see the appropriate Country Guidelines for your specific situation. *'''Current Last Name:''' For modern profiles, this will be the married last name. It is also where you would place the most recent farm name. If your profile is for an emigrant outside a Nordic country, this field would also hold their adopted surname. *'''Other Last Names:''' This field is often used to hold variant spellings of a last name. In addition, if the person used more than one farm name, this is the field that would hold any additional farm names used, separated by a comma. e.g. ''Fjell, Berg, Dal, etc.'' Note: If there are more than three, it is recommended they be placed in the Biography under a ===Other Farm Names Used=== section. *'''Middle Name Field:''' This field can be used for By-names, actual middle names when appropriate, but in some cases this field would be left blank if middle names are not used during a specific time period. ==Denmark== *[[Space:Project_Denmark_Discussion_Draft_for_Danish_Names|Name Fields for Danish Profiles]] ==Finland== *[[Space:Finnish_names|Finnish Naming conventions]] ==Iceland== *[[Project:Iceland#Icelandic_names|Icelandic names]] ==Norway== *[[Space:Norway_Project_Naming_Conventions|Name Fields for Norwegian Profiles]] ==Sweden== *[[Space:Swedish_names|Name Fields for Swedish Profiles]] *[[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|Swedish Name Laws Overview]] *[[Space:Family_names_in_Sweden|Family Names in Sweden]] *[[Space:Given_names_in_Sweden|Given Names in Sweden]] ==Early Scandinavia== *[[Space:Early_Scandinavia_Project_-_Name_Guidelines|Early Scandinavian Name Guidelines]]

: The '''Trail Coordinator''' is the first point of contact and also the one who connects a Trail Guide with a new Explorer. : A '''Trail Guide''' takes on the mission to guide a new Nordic Project member, an '''Explorer''', in how to do basic research for three, currently orphaned, profiles of a chosen Nordic country. By having Trail Guides working one on one, helping out and encouraging an Explorer, we hope more WikiTree members will work with original sources of the Nordic countries. In time, we hope to raise the numbers of experienced WikiTree members who actively work on Nordic profiles and perhaps even become Trail Guides themselves. '''Members;'''

Any comments added to a profile with Nordic Project on the TL will also be sent to the Nordic Project Google group. There is a complementary spreadsheet containing (hopefully) all the profiles managed by each sub-project that can be used for noting which profiles needs work, priority of said work, and which ones are "done" (and could be used as "example profiles"). === Tools and Resources === * [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_Project_Managed_Profiles_Guideline|Nordic Project - Project Managed Profiles Guideline]] * [[:Category:Denmark_Project_Management_Prospects]] * [[:Category:Finland_Project_Management_Prospects]] * [[:Category:Iceland_Project_Management_Prospects]] * [[:Category:Norway_Project_Management_Prospects]] * [[:Category:Sweden_Project_Management_Prospects]] *[[:Help:Project-Managed_Profiles]] *[[:Help:Living_Notables]] *User Stickers are being developed ??? * Project Boxes

[[Category:Nordic Project Leadership]] The purpose of this page is to inform what kind of profiles can be managed within the Nordic project, why they benefit to be project managed, and what PPP means. See Also: :[[Project: Nordic |Nordic Project]] :[[:Space:Nordic_Project_-_PMP_Team]] :[[:Space:Nordic_Project_-_VIP_Team]] :[[:Space:Nordic_Project_-_Guidelines_and_Standards]] == Project Managed Profiles within the Nordic Project == Nordic Project Managed Profiles, PMP for short, will have the country sub-project set as the (co-) manager of the profile and Nordic Project on the trusted list of the profile. For example, Swedish child book author Astrid Lindgren would have Sweden Project as manager of the profile, and the Nordic Project would be added to the trusted list. This enables each country sub-project to easily find the profiles managed by their specific country project. Adding Nordic Project to the trusted list of each of these profiles will generate a watchlist feed for ALL project-managed Nordic profiles which will help the Nordic Project Team members to find and improve these profiles. Having a project as manager of a profile is also a way to have many people help with keeping watch over a profile. Project members can see what changes are made, help maintaining the integrity of the profile, help with merges and also answer questions about the profile. == Which profiles should be Project Managed == Generally speaking, it should be a profile of someone who was/is important in the history of any of the Nordic countries. They should either be born or died in a Nordic country or having spent a large proportion of their life there. Profiles for members of a royal family are good candidates to be Project Managed as well as some of the Nordic nobles (who usually were those who held the important posts in society). It can also be someone who is notable, like a well-known inventor, author or artist for example (a notable person should have at least one Wikipedia page) or a WikiTree 5 star profile (the profiles which are viewed the most). It could also be a well-known family line that is known to contain erroneous information in other online trees that should not be repeated on WikiTree as well. Then some of these family profiles would benefit from project management. == What is PPP and when is it used == PPP stands for Project Protected Profiles and in addition to being managed by a project, this is like adding an extra layer of protection. For example, a profile with PPP can not be merged into another profile. Neither can it be edited via GEDCOMpare or any external apps. There is also some protection regarding relationships (parents, children, and spouses) which can not be added, or removed. The exceptions to the above are if you are the profile manager or you have the role of Project Leader or Project Coordinator. The Nordic Project will consider adding PPP to a profile if it is at least 200 years old or the profile of a notable (not all of the PMPs will need to have PPP). These are some of the reasons a profile can have PPP added: * Anything about the person in the profile, their descendants or ancestors is disputed, unproven or speculative. An example could be to PPP a male royal person who is regularly claimed to be the father of illegitimate children according to many "family history" on online trees. * The profile is prone to duplication. * The Last Name at Birth (LNAB) is prone to be changed due to spelling or misunderstandings. * The profile is a [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/905133/will-you-help-us-improve-the-most-visited-profiles 5-Star profile]. == How are the project added as manager == A profile can be added by a Project Leader or a Project Coordinator adopting an orphaned profile on behalf of one of the country projects. If a profile already has an active profile manager, they are usually (if the profile is post-1500) asked to add the specific Country Project as co-manager of the profile. Should the profile have an inactive manager, and the profile is older than 200 years, a Project Leader can add the specific Country Project as co-manager of the profile. If the profile is post-1500, this will not be done without some effort to communicate with the current manager(s). Sometimes a project can also be contacted by a profile manager who wants a project to be co-manager. Nordic Project will not remove a current active manager who has made valuable contributions to a profile. However, a profile should not have more than 5 managers per WikiTree guidelines. In those cases, we will ask active managers to consider removing themselves as managers (they can still be on the trusted list to monitor the profile). This is what [[Help:Profile_Manager|help page]] says; ''The profile manager role isn't about power. It's about leadership. The manager is expected to lead in the protection and improvement of the profile. If they're currently unable or unwilling to lead, it's best that they let someone else manage the profile.'' == Suggest a profile for the Nordic Project to manage == To suggest a profile for Nordic Project management (including how it meets the Project Management and or Project Protection criteria), please contact any of the Team Leaders of the [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_VIP_Team|VIP Team]]. Another way is to add a maintenance category to the profile, use the one relevant for the specific Nordic country; *[[:Category:Denmark Project Management Prospects]] *[[:Category:Finland Project Management Prospects]] *[[:Category:Iceland Project Management Prospects]] *[[:Category:Norway Project Management Prospects]] *[[:Category:Sweden Project Management Prospects]]. In this case, please also add a research note explaining why the profile would benefit from having project management. == Related Help Pages == * [[:Help:Project-Managed_Profiles]] * [[:Help:Project_Protection]] * [[:Help:Living_Notables]] * [[:Help:Apps]] * [[Help:GEDCOMpare]]

The primary goal is to locate at least one primary source for each of the currently unsourced Nordic profiles, and to add a complete and precise citation for each source that is found. If you enjoy searching through the digital archives in a hunt for that one elusive source, then you would be a great asset to the Nordic Sourcerers Team. '''What do members of this team do?''' We improve profiles by adding sources to them in accordance with the WikiTree and the Nordic Project sourcing guidelines. Some of these guidelines include: * Using primary sources when they are available. * Using inline source citations when possible. * Including links to online sources. * Using the {{Unsourced}} templates to manage unsourced profiles. * Using Research Notes when appropriate. Some members of the Nordic Sourcerers Team also participate in the WikiTree Sourcerers Challenges. Any work done on unsourced Nordic profiles can count towards your monthly challenge goals.

Pick A Profile''': : You can pick any unsourced Nordic Project profile from the time period and location of your choice. See the section on [[#Locating| Locating Unsourced Profiles]] for more information. '''2. Locate Reliable Sources''': : The ideal goal is to locate a reliable source for each fact on a profile. The minimal goal is to locate at least one reliable source that corroborates a single life event and/or relationship listed on the profile. There are two categories of sources that should be considered when doing research: : '''Primary sources''' are considered the most reliable. They are original documents that were recorded at the time of an event and have not been altered or distorted by third parties. Examples of primary sources include birth and death registration records, parish household records, and original copies of wills. : '''Secondary sources''' are less reliable than primary sources and should not be relied upon. They can, however, be a helpful aid for locating primary sources. They are sources that contain information that is presented after the fact, by third parties who may not have been a witness to the event. Examples of secondary sources include newspaper articles, oral histories provided by family members, and family trees that have been compiled by others. '''3. Evaluate The Data''': : Once a primary source has been located that may match the profile being worked on, the data should be evaluated for accuracy and consistency. Has enough research been done to reasonably ensure that the correct person is represented in the source? Do the dates, locations, and expected relationships from the source match the information on the profile? If not, then further research will be needed. If the data does match, caution should still be used to ensure that the source does not reference another individual with a similar name in a similar location. This is where locating multiple sources that corroborate one another becomes very useful. The more sources that are located, the greater the certainty about the data listed on a profile. '''4. Record The Data''': : Once a source has been evaluated as a match for the current profile, the data should be entered into the available data fields. If there is already data in the fields it should be checked for accuracy and any necessary changes should be made. In particular, the location data fields should be as complete as possible, using the Nordic Project location name guidelines. For more information about data fields, please review the following help pages: * [[:Category:Profile_Editing_Help|Editing Profile Fields]] * [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Name_and_Location_Fields|Sweden Name and Location Fields]] '''5. Record The Source''': : Once you have a reliable source, it is critical that a reference to that source be included on the profile. Some guidelines for recording the source are: * The source citation should be as complete and concise as possible. * The source citation should include a link to any online sources. * The source citation should link to freely available repositories when possible. * The source citation should be included "inline", in the biography section, when possible. : These steps will allow the fastest and easiest access to the sources and will make the citations as concise and clear as possible for other researchers. : Sources should be added in accordance with the WikiTree and the Nordic Project sourcing guidelines. For more information about sourcing, please review the following help pages: * [[Help:Sources|How To Record Sources On WikiTree]] * [[Help:Sources_Style_Guide|WikiTree Sources Style Guide]] * [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Source_Citation_Format|Sweden Sourcing Guidelines]] '''6. Add Research Notes''': : It is always helpful to future researchers to know what research has already been conducted on a profile. The Research Notes section of the profile is a great place to add notes about what research has been done and any other useful information such as discrepancies, missing data, or unusual circumstances. This will help the next researcher work effectively without needing to repeat research that has already been done. : If you have searched for sources and have not been able to locate any, you should make a note of where you unsuccessfully searched in the Research Notes section. For example, a note stating something like "The Bäckaby Parish birth records were searched for the years 1891 to 1893 and a birth record for Johan Luur was not located" would be helpful for future researchers. * More information about [[Help:Research_Notes|Research Notes]] '''7. Update The Unsourced Template''': : Once a profile has been sourced, the Templates and Categories associated with that profile should be updated accordingly. There are two common ways of designating that a profile needs sources: : '''Unsourced Templates''' are used to show the big orange banner on a profile indicating that "This profile lacks source information. Please add sources that support the facts." When the profile is in edit mode, you can view the code that adds the Unsourced Template to the profile. For example, on a Sweden profile, you should see '''{{Unsourced|Sweden}}''' just above the ==Biography== tag. : '''Unsourced Categories''' are used to add a profile to a readily accessible grouping of unsourced profiles, but does not add the orange banner. When the profile is in edit mode, you can view the code that adds the Unsourced Category to the profile. For example, on a Sweden profile, you should see '''[[Category:Sweden, Unsourced Profiles]]''' just above the ==Biography== tag. : If the profile has been completely sourced, then both the Template and/or Category snippets can be removed. This will remove the profile from the Unsourced Profiles Report, and will no longer show the banner on the profile or the profile in the Unsourced Category. On the other hand, if you have only begun sourcing the profile and it can use more work, then it should be added to a new '''Maintenance Category''' that indicates the type of work still needed, and the country the profile belongs to. : Some examples that could be used are the "Needs Birth Record" or "Needs More Records" Categories, among others. To add the "Needs More Records" category to a Sweden profile, the '''[[Category:Sweden, Needs More Records]]''' snippet would replace the previously used Unsourced Template or Category snippets. * The full list of the [[:Category:Nordic%2C_Maintenance_Categories|Nordic Project Maintenance Categories]] '''8. Extra Credit''': : The profile has now been sourced, but there is always more that can be done. Some available options are to improve the biography and to connect the profile to other profiles. The [[Project:Profile_Improvement|Profile Improvement Project Page]] provides more information on ways to further improve profiles. : You can also paricipate in the WikiTree Sourcerers' Challenges by joining their project. The profiles that you source for the Nordic Project may also qualify for receiving points in their challenges.

[[Category: Nordic Project Teams]] '''Navigation: [[Project:Nordic|Nordic Project]] > [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_Country_Sub-Projects|Nordic Project - Sub Projects and Teams]] >Nordic VIP Team '''The purpose of this team is:''' To gather a group of Nordic Project members who like to work on profiles of special importance for the Nordic Project. Once worked on, these profiles can also serve as good example profiles for other members. The team will be working on profiles that are important because they are; * Project Managed (high priority to edit in order to establish good example profiles). * Notable Profiles (important enough to have a Wikipedia page). * 5-star Profile (most visited profiles WikiTree profiles, important that they look their best). Some profiles might only fit into one or two categories while some may be in all three. While we really want EVERY Nordic profile to be the best they can be, these are profiles exposed to more views, both within and outside WikiTree. For example, they may be among WT’s “Featured Connections” or be among the 5-star profiles, i.e. profiles viewed at least 1,000 times in total, and by at least 100 different people in the past year. '''What do members of this team do?''' We improve profiles not only in accordance with WikiTree [[:Category: Styles and Standards|styles and standards]], but also in consideration of relevant standards of each Nordic country project. That means: * search for duplicate profiles and suggest merges * making sure that all data field info is added and also marked correctly * adding the most reliable sources we can find * writing biographies, translating biographies, if needed * adding relevant categories and stickers * check/remove/replace images in order to not infringe on any copyright '''Team Members''' Leader: [[Berryann-1|Missy Berryann]] Advisory members: Denmark: [[Selmer-20|Ole Selmer]], Iceland: [[Eysteinsson-236|Sigurður Eysteinsson]], [[Thorisdottir-4|Dagmar Thorisdottir]], Norway: [[Kristensen-547|Leif Biberg Kristensen]], Sweden: Open Active Team Members: [[Berryann-1|Missy Berryann]] Please note, to be a member of this team, you need to have some prior knowledge of editing profiles in accordance with WikiTree styles and standards. ---- == Member instructions:== Before starting to work on a profile, please review the section "Help pages and resources" further below. If you have any questions along the way, ask the team members in the Nordic Google Group, on Discord or G2G (be sure to add the tag "Nordic"). Let the Team Leader know what profile (or family) you are working on. Post a comment on the profile you choose to work on, something along the line “This profile is being worked on by (your name) on behalf of the Nordic VIP Team.” Start by searching for duplicate profiles. If any duplicate is found, inform the VIP Team. Info and LNAB on any duplicate profile(s) needs to be evaluated before any work is started and merge(s) suggested. Evaluate the information currently on the profile. Is the LNAB correct according to the county project standards? What is personally important and genealogically important info on the profile? An existing profile of a celebrity can already have a lot of info but is it relevant? (The biography should not look like an article from a gossip magazine.) If there are any images on the profile, are they relevant? Does the image clearly inform that it does not infringe on any copyright? If not, consider replacing the image with another, especially on a project-managed profile.
Wikimedia Commons is one of many places where you can find images to use on the profile. If you upload an image, remember there needs to be an indication in comments on the image of where it has come from and why it is permissible to use it. Also, make sure that any imported image has a good title and not just “Image 1” or something similar. Background images should be used sparingly and be “gentle on the eyes.” Do not add an extensive amount of in-line sources for a single statement. If a profile for example has an original source, like a sourced birth notice, it does not need to have additional sources added to that specific fact (from Wikipedia, online articles, newspaper clips, etc) unless it is a contradicting fact. If a person outside the closest family is mentioned in the biography, and they have a WikiTree profile, please add a link to that profile in the text. Please check that any URL links on the profile are correct and working. Preferably, any online resource pages/sources added should be added to Wayback Machine (an online internet archive ( https://archive.org/web/ ) and then have that archived link added to the profiles. If the profile has biographies in multiple languages, the native language of the person the profile represents should be first and English last. Please translate biographies if needed or add the category for “needs translation” [[:Category: Country Project Needs Translation to Language]] The Acknowledgement heading can usually be removed. To acknowledge someone who imported a gedcom and done nothing with it is really not necessary. If the heading is kept, perhaps it would be better to add something along the lines of “Thanks to everyone who contributed to this profile. Please click the Changes tab to see the edits made.” Please add relevant categories and stickers to the profile. Categories, including location categories, should be supported in the text. See [[Space:Nordic_Project%2C_Templates_and_Stickers]] If you are working on a Notable, please add links to Wikipedia (preferably in both the native language and in English if available). Make sure that you have reviewed the data field part, that correct info is added (corresponds to sourced info in bio) and marked correctly (radio buttons). If a birth notice is added as source, please also mark the mother and father of the profile as "Confident." When your editing is done, please check that the profile does not have any suggestions that need to be sorted out. Also, check the proper order of elements: [[Categories]]
{{Research Note Boxes}}
{{Project Boxes}}
== Biography ==
{{Profile Stickers}}
== Research Notes == (if needed)
== Sources ==

Before reporting the profile to the Team as “done/finished,” please read through the profile once more to check for any minor edits like missing words or typos. Then report to the team, sit back, relax, and pat yourself on the back for improving an important profile that many will see and be grateful for. Once a profile is reported “finished,” a Team Leader will check the profile, and if not already managed by a Nordic Country Project, we might consider adopting it (if an orphan) or reaching out to the current manager and ask to be co-managers.

Here is a good article that sums things up: [https://www.tamurajones.net/GenealogyWithoutDocumentationIsMythology.xhtml Genealogy Without Sources is Mythology!] :'''Sources are either original or derivative.''' :A '''primary source''' is one that was recorded either at the time of the event or shortly afterwards. Although these sources are generally reliable, they can have errors and you will learn how to evaluate the information contained in them, especially when one source contradicts another. Here are examples of original sources where the information gathered from them is generally considered reliable: * Birth records. * Death records. * Marriage records. * Family bibles with birth/marriage/death dates. * Books that cite primary sources. This would Include books that transcribe birth/marriage/death records as well as authored family histories or trees that cite birth/marriage/death records. * Military records. * Will and estate records. * Court records. * Burial records. * History books that would have collected information from the subjects themselves. * Newspaper articles with the publication name, date, and location. * A proof summary of multiple sources of supporting evidence used to draw a reasonable conclusion. :A '''secondary source''' is one that is written after the event or period has passed. Secondary sources can still be reliable if they cite primary sources. They can be useful for clues about where to look for primary sources, or for background information to expand the profile's biography (for example, a history book which covers an occupation and what it was like during the time period we are researching). :Information from '''derivative sources''', unless supported by other sources, should be considered '''uncertain''' and marked as such. However, since the community does not enforce a set standard of proof, this is a determination made by the editors of the profile — the Wiki Genealogists who are engaged in finding and evaluating sources of information. See "[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Disagreements_about_Certainty Disagreements about Certainty]" before considering marking information added by someone else as "Uncertain." :Here are examples of '''derivative sources''': * A link to a personal family tree. * A family tree found online, including GEDCOMs, LDS ancestral files, World Family Tree, RootsWeb, Geni, Ancestry Member Trees, etc. If the tree cites reliable proofs, find the proofs and cite them. * Yates Publishing, US and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, from Ancestry.com. * Find-A-Grave. Find-A-Grave profiles rarely cite reliable proofs. When they do, find the proofs and cite them. * Transcriptions of documents (wills, etc.) found online that are not published. * A discussion in a genealogy forum. If the discussion cites reliable proofs, find the proofs and cite them. * Books with family trees/family histories that do not cite reliable sources. These books are secondary sources and should be seen as a starting point. Further research is needed to confirm those relationships. * Edmund West Collection, from Ancestry.com, per their own description, "should be used to find primary sources." :Reliable and unreliable sources vary greatly in reliability. It can be helpful to know why the source was created and by whom when evaluating how reliable a source is. Generally, governmental and church records are reliable. :Always remember that transcriptions may be inaccurate. Every time someone transcribes information from one place to another, there is a risk of human error, especially when the handwriting is difficult to read. ====What about Online Family Trees?==== :A family tree by itself is '''not''' a reliable source. A good family tree cites primary sources so you can double check the accuracy of the facts as presented. Cite the primary source used by that family tree rather than the name of the tree itself. An unsourced family tree contains no evidence to confirm what is being presented. :Please do NOT use ''any'' of these online family trees types as "sources." * Ancestry * Rootsweb * Geni * Familysearch: Pedigree Resource Files or User-Submitted Genealogies * MyHeritage * Geneanet * WeRelate {{Image|file=Nordic_Trail_Part_1-1.jpg |align=c |size=m }}

That usually means the parish category where the person was born, married, lived for a very long period of time or died. It should never be the country, province, county or hundred.

[[Category:Norway]] '''This page is being reconstructed.''' ===Geographic Divisions=== Norway is commonly divided into five major geographical regions (landsdeler). However these regions are purely geographical, and have no administrative purpose. More commonly genealogy information is found at the County and Parish level. {{Image|file=Norway_images.png |align=r |size=m |caption=Norway with its counties. }} The Counties (Fylke) of Norway are: Northern Norway (Nord-Norge/Nord-Noreg): : [[:Category: Finnmark, Norway|Finnmark]] : [[:Category: Troms, Norway|Troms]] : [[:Category: Nordland, Norway|Nordland]] Trøndelag (alt. Midt-Norge/Midt-Noreg) : [[:Category: Nord-Trøndelag, Norway| Nord-Trøndelag]] : [[:Category: Sør-Trøndelag, Norway|Sør-Trøndelag]] Western Norway (Vestlandet) : [[:Category: Møre og Romsdal, Norway| Møre og Romsdal]] : [[:Category: Sogn og Fjordane, Norway| Sogn og Fjordane]] : [[:Category: Hordaland, Norway| Hordaland]] : [[:Category: Rogaland, Norway| Rogaland]] Southern Norway (Sørlandet or Agder) : [[:Category: Vest-Agder, Norway| Vest-Agder]] : [[:Category: Aust-Agder, Norway| Aust-Agder]] Eastern Norway (Østlandet/Austlandet) : [[:Category: Telemark, Norway| Telemark]] : [[:Category: Buskerud, Norway| Buskerud]] : [[:Category: Hedmark, Norway| Hedmark]] : [[:Category: Oppland, Norway| Oppland]] : [[:Category: Akershus, Norway| Akershus]] : [[:Category: Oslo, Norway| Oslo]] : [[:Category: Vestfold, Norway|Vestfold]] : [[:Category: Østfold, Norway|Østfold]]

[[Category: Norway Genealogy Resources]] The common term in Norwegian for these books is "Bygdebok", plural "Bygdebøker". This term is also used extensively among Americans, often as "Bygdeboks" in plural. Here is a good introduction to the phenomenon: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Norway_Farm_Books The quality of farm books can vary considerably, and some of the worst ones are useless. In general, the newer they are, the better. Citing a paragraph from the referred FamilySearch page: "''There are differences in various farm books. Many are very thorough, and try to cover as many persons as possible on the farms (down to the humblest servant), while others only cover the farm owners and their families. Some parishes have 3 or more volumes covering their farms and people. Do keep in mind that, as secondary sources, information in the farm books should be checked from parish records and other primary sources [when] possible. Even in farm books where [it is] evident that the author has been very thorough and careful with research, there can be errors in the information.''" So, while bygdeboks often can be of great help, please use them with care.

[[Category:Norway Project]] [[Category:Norway, Maintenance Categories]] Back to [[:Project: Norway]] Norway Project relies on the project members to contribute with corrections and improvements in order to make the Norwegian profiles look their best. If we could all help out, even a little bit, once in a while, it would help improve WikiTree. Listed below are some ways you can help improving Norwegian profiles. You can also add categories as well as some of the [[Space:Norway_Project_-_Template_and_Stickers|templates and stickers]] available for Norwegian profiles. If you have a question about the topics below, not answered by the text, please ask in the WikiTree Nordic Google Group or in G2G. == Adding profiles == Of course, you could be working on adding your own Norwegian family ancestors, but if you should have some extra time there are other Norwegian profiles that could use some help in order to be connected to "the big Wiki Tree". Check out the links below; * [[:Category: Norway Project Needs Profiles Created]] * [[:Category: Norway, Needs Profiles Created]] * [[:Automated:DD_Unconnected_List_NOR]] Before adding profiles, you might want to check out the pages regarding [[:Space:Norway_Project_Naming_Conventions|How to enter Norwegian Names in WikiTree]] and please also use [[Space:Norway_Project_-_Genealogy_Resources#Norwegian_special_letters|Norwegian special letters]] to keep the spelling correct. == Cleaning up "Gedcom Junk" == A "gedcom" is a file format that contains family tree info that can be uploaded or imported to another place or device. When such a file is imported/uploaded to WikiTree a lot of "junk text" might be added as well. Please read the help page [[Help: GEDCOM-Created_Biographies]] in order to understand what is considered "junk" and can be removed. There is no easy way to locate any "gedcom junk" on your own profiles, unfortunately. Profiles in need of a clean-up can be found in [[:Category: Norway, Needs Gedcom Cleanup]]. == Sourcing == You can help by sourcing the Norwegian profiles that are currently unsourced. First you might want to check out this [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:How_to_Get_Started_with_Genealogy#Source.2C_Source.2C_Source section about sourcing]. In addition to that, these help pages hold valuable information; [[Help:Sources]] and [[Help:Sources_FAQ]]. If you intend to work on Norwegian profiles pre-1700 please check [[Space:Norway_Project_Reliable_Sources]] before you do. Do you have any unsourced profiles in your own tree? : If you want to check if any of the profiles you are the manager of has the unsourced template on them, use the menu “My WikiTree”, choose “Watchlist” from the dropdown menu and then click the box/button that is labelled “Unsourced” (below the thin orange line). You will find the “My WikiTree”-menu at the top of the page, just a bit right of the middle. If you like to help improve and source other profiles than your own, these are some categories that holds unsourced profiles: * Project managed profiles; ** [[:Category: Norway Project Needs Norwegian Sources]] ** [[:Category: Norway Project Needs Sources]] * Other Norwegian native profiles; ** [[:Category:Norway, Unsourced Profiles]] Profiles without any source at all ** [[:Category: Norway, Needs More Records]] Profiles, partially sourced. ** [[:Category: Norway, Needs Norwegian Sources]] Profiles, likely emigrants, with sources from a country other than Norway If you are ready for a real challenge, check out [[:Category: Norway, Unknown Location]] and see if you can help out. If you enjoy this kind of work, you should consider joining the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Nordic_Project_-_Sourcerers_Team Nordic Project Sourcerers Team]. == Writing biographies == First, please check the help page [[:Help: Biographies]] to learn more about the text sections used on WikiTree, styles and standards and other useful info. Then perhaps start with your own profiles, can you add more than the bare facts? Do you know if they played an instrument or have you perhaps found something else of interest about them? An example could be to add the witnesses of a child's christening to a profile, they are often relatives and perhaps already have a profile on WikiTree that can be linked to in the bio. If you like writing biographies, you might want to help with other profiles than your own? Check the categories for profiles managed by Nordic Project that needs their biography written (or improved) [[:Category: Norway Project Needs Biography]]. There is also a category for other Norwegian profiles (not managed by the project) that are in need of a biography, check out [[:Category:Norway, Needs Biography]]. Remember to cooperate with a profile manager if you intend to do a major overhaul of any text already existing on the profile, see also [[:Help: Communication_Before_Editing]]. == Useful tools == * [https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/sands1865/biocheck/ The BioCheck app] The BioCheck app looks for unsourced profiles but also recognizes style issues on profiles. See also the help page [[:Space: BioCheckHelp]]

Back to [[:Project: Norway]] == Templates and stickers used on Norwegian profiles == ==== Norway Project Box ==== : The '''Norway project box''', as can be seen below, is a template that '''should only be used on profiles that have Norway Project as manager'''. *The Project Box should only be added by the Managed Profiles Team and/or Nordic Project Leadership Team. {{Norway}} ---- === Research Note Boxes/Templates === ALL of the boxes/templates that are sorted under this definition, such as "Estimated Date" can be found here: [[:Help:Research_Note_Boxes]]. The most common one is however the one for unsourced profiles below. ==== Unsourced Norway ==== {{Unsourced|Norway}} : The Unsourced template, shown above, can be used for Norwegian profiles to be added automatically to the [[:Category: Norway, Unsourced Profiles ]]. : Please add {{Unsourced|Norway}} to the profile, '''above''' the == Biography == heading. ==== Source Templates ==== There are a few source templates created by WikiTree that can be good to know about. The reason to use source templates is that if/when the link structure at a specific website used as a source changes, the WikiTree Team can make a change and all of our template links will start working again. These are some help pages for source templates that might be good to know about; * [[:Help:Links_to_Ancestry]] * [[:Help:Links_to_FamilySearch]] * [[:Help:Find_A_Grave]] ---- === Stickers === : Profile Stickers go in the text section of the edit page, below the Biography headline. There should be no extra hard returns above or below it, and no horizontal rules (----). : They are usually placed directly below the Biography headline, but they can be placed anywhere in the biography section, such as near where the information being highlighted is discussed. They are usually grouped together but they can be spread out. : They should not be placed in or below the Sources section. ---- ==== Norway Native Sticker ==== {{Norway Native}} : The [[Template:Norway_Native|Norway Sticker]] is to be used on profiles who lived and died in Norway. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{Norway Native}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Norwegian Roots Sticker ==== {{Norway Roots}} : The [[Template:Norway_Roots|Norwegian Roots sticker]] may be used for any non-resident of Norway who has been identified as having Norwegian ancestry, including active WikiTree members. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{Norway Roots}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Norwegian Notables ==== {{Notables Sticker|Norway, Notables}} : The Notables sticker can be used with the country added to it. The country will not be seen in the sticker text but it will add the profile to the [[:Category: Norway, Notables]]. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{Notables Sticker|Norway, Notables}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Norwegian Nobility ==== {{EuroAristo Sticker|place=Norway}} : The EuroAristo sticker can be used with the country added to it. However, this will not add the profile to any category since the profile should be added to the category for the house the profile belong to. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{EuroAristo Sticker|place=Norway}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Migrating Ancestor ==== {{Migrating Ancestor |origin= Norway |destination= Minnesota, USA |origin-flag= Nordic_Project_Images-3.png |destination-flag= US_Flags-20.png }} : The migrating sticker can be used on the profiles of Norwegian emigrants (or immigrants). It will not add the profile to any category. : It can be used on a profile by adding
: {{Migrating Ancestor

[[Category: Norway Project]] [[Category: Norway Genealogy Resources]] = Norway Project Naming Conventions = :This page was created on 6 February 2019, when the text was moved from the [[Space:Project_Norway_FAQ|Project Norway FAQ]] to the current page. Note that in 2018, these guidelines were changed and brought into line with the [[Space:Project_Denmark_Discussion_Draft_for_Danish_Names|Danish]] and [[Space:Family_names_in_Sweden|Swedish]] policies. See the G2G disussion: [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/607648/name-guidance-updated-in-project-norway-faq Name guidance updated in Project Norway FAQ]. :The main change in policy was to abandon the Farm name as Last Name At Birth (LNAB) in favor of the historically more correct usage of Patronym as LNAB, and instead put the Farm name in Current and/or Other Last Name(s) as appropriate. == Common Concepts == :Here follows a brief introduction to how a Norwegian Pre-1900 name can be deconstructed. === What's a patronym? === :If you look at a [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061208050009 random page of 19th century Norwegian baptisms], you'll see that the column called "Barnets Fulde Navn" - The Child's Full Name - only shows the given name. '''There is no surname'''. Instead, people were called by their given name and the "patronym", a Greek word literally meaning "father's name". The first child shown on the page above, ''Hans'', son of "Huusmand" ''Johannes'' Hansen Skibsnæss and Maria Arvesdatter, would be called ''Hans Johannesen''. The next child, ''Kirsten'', daughter of "Huusmand" ''Hans'' Helgesen Tveten and Maren Olsdatter, would be called ''Kirsten Hansdatter''. :Such was the custom in Norway, as in the other Scandinavian countries. If the father was Ole Nielsen, his son's name might be Lars Olsen (literally "Ole's son"). His daughter might be Olava Olsdatter ("Ole's daughter"). Yes, the son and daughter had slightly different last names. The patronymic naming practice died out mostly during the 19th century, first among the upper strata of the urban population, slowly percolating downwards and outwards. It was abolished altogether with the Names Act of 1923, when inherited surnames became mandatory. Norway was the last of the Scandinavian countries to abandon patronyms, while the Icelanders are still using them. === What do you mean by Farm Name? === :The "farm name" is a location, often a farm or small community. You can see the farm names in the example above of the fathers Johannes Hansen ''Skibsnæss'' and Hans Helgesen ''Tveten''. Those were primarily addresses, and would change if and when the family moved elsewhere. :This location statement was often used by migrants arriving in America to identify themselves and differentiate one Olsen from another. It became common practice, particularly in the United States, to adopt this as a "surname". But it would be wrong to assume that it was ever thought of as a surname by individuals of a culture to whom the entire concept of "surnames" was utterly foreign. The modern idea of using the Farm name as a kind of "surrogate surname" in genealogy is mostly an American invention, and at odds with historical facts. :Eventually, Norwegians staying in the home country would also convert their farm names to surnames. This didn't really take hold with the rural population until early 20th century. During the late 19th century many took their farm names from home as fixed surnames, sometimes with outlandish spellings, if they moved to town. That was particularly the case for sons of affluent farmers who had some education. Lower class people who went to town usually stuck to their patronyms. === Cognomens, Bynames & Monikers === :There's a third class of "Not Surnames" applied by pre-1900 Norwegians. In an urban environment with Olsens galore and no farm names, an auxiliary identifier was often needed. So, people could be named by their profession, by their place of origin, or some other characteristic. Common for all of them is that, even if they stuck to persons for the rest of their lives, they never were passed on to the next generation, which of course is the first requirement for calling it a surname. If you find a "Jon Smed" in a Norwegian parish register, you can rest assured that he actually was a smith, and hadn't inherited the name from an ancestor. As mentioned above under the discussion of Farm names, a person might bring his farm name with him to town, but until late 19th century they were always attached to the ''individual'', not to the family. Sometimes that can be very confusing, when you for example find a guy like [[Pedersen-5988|Niels Pedersen]] (1719 - 1781) called "Molhougen", the name of a farm about a ten minutes walk away, living on the Western shore in the small town of Porsgrunn for most of his life. None of his children were ever called "Molhougen", again proof that it wasn't considered inheritable. === Real Surnames === :A tiny fraction of Norwegians actually had real surnames, passed on from father to son. They were almost without exception descendants of immigrants, and usually were rather upper class, like officers, merchants, and pastors. They're also the darlings of genealogists. If you find what looks like a genuine surname attached to your Norwegian ancestor, just search for it on the Web. You're almost certain to find a detailed description somewhere. :Among early surname adopters should also be mentioned the new urban middle-class citizens: small merchants, sea captains, and master craftsmen, who could wield family names even in the 18th century. Quite often those were frozen patronyms, and it may be a challenge to find out if a "Captain Nielsen" is the son of a Niels Olsen, or of a Ole Nielsen. You may also come across what looks like double patronyms for this class, like "Niels Olsen Nielsen" for our skipper, being son of a Ole Nielsen. This class frequently took surnames not previously documented in their families. :In a few cases, you may see that someone is named after a grandparent or other person, and that other person's patronym is used as a second given name. See for instance [[Taule-9|Anders Tollefsen Taule (1818-)]], who is obviously named after his maternal grandfather. This can become rather confusing. == General Guidelines == :The convention for Norwegian names before the adoption of surnames can be a complex topic for non-Norwegian genealogists (and even for Norwegians). However, the overwhelming part of the population were mainly known by their patronyms. Even people with real surnames were frequently recorded by their given name and patronym only. :Note that records were generally not written by the individual concerned. They were written by civil servants, mostly clergy. They were either Danish or had their education in Denmark, and wrote in Danish. Thus there are variations in names of a person depending on the record concerned. In parish records, you may often see that names changed with a new pastor, "Karen" becoming "Kari", or "Tellev" changing to "Tollef". Generally, names would be written with a distinctly Danish spelling. (It appears like the Norwegian name forms mostly were regarded as "colloquial" and not suitable for recording.) The male name "Sveinung" may be spelled as anything ranging from "Svenum" to "Svenning". It's impossible to give general rules as to how names "should" be written. Use common sense, and avoid extreme forms. The spellings found in the 1801 census are usually good candidates for "standard" name forms. :It should be mentioned that "th" in Norwegian doesn't signify a distinct sound as it does in English. A name like "Thor" is phonetically equivalent to "Tor". The h is silent and only serves as decoration in the written form. Therefore, it may be prudent to omit the silent h in Norwegian names. :The most Norwegian name of them all, Ole, requires some special consideration. It's arguably the same name as the old Norse ''Olafr'', and has mostly been pronounced "Ola". Some ''Bygdebok'' authors have consistently used "Olav" or "Olaf" where the church records have "Ole". Whether this is objectively "correct" or not, is open for debate. But if you want to keep your Norwegian ancestors visible for potential matches and merges (which you should, if you have signed the [[Special:Honor_Code|WikiTree Honor Code]]), you'll do well in sticking to the most common spellings, which are mostly the ones you'll find in the original records. The patronymic forms should be entered as ''Olsen'' and ''Olsdatter'', or at your discretion, ''Olson'' and ''Olsdotter''. These forms are recognized by the system as the same name, while eg. ''Olavsdatter'' isn't. :The Wikitree convention is to use the name that the person was known by at birth for the LNAB. These can often be found in the family records and family books. A good source for records is at the [https://digitalarkivet.no/en/ Digital Archives Norway]. :Norwegian names tend to use a three-part naming system: * First name: all given names * Patronymic: Olsdatter, Svendsen, Nielsen etc, showing the given name of their father * Farm name: the name of the farm where they were born or lived – this would change when people moved, but is often the name that can best be used to find a person’s origin. Be aware, though, that many farm names (eg. Dal, Fjell, Nes, Vik) are extremely common, and can be found all over the country. == Specific Fields == :There has been much discussion on the unique characteristics of Norwegian naming and how it should be entered in to WikiTree. This standard deviates from some other genealogy platforms but for WikiTree, it has been determined that the best overall standard for entering Norwegian names is: === Proper First Name === :All given names should be placed in the First Name at Birth field, e.g. Christiana Marie. Norwegians rarely used middle names in the American sense. Please ignore the "Unusual Data" warning in this context. There's nothing unusual with multiple first names. And, if you're working a lot with European profiles, you may want to turn off the warning about "More than one name in the First Name field". Go to My WikiTree->Settings, and at the bottom just click the check box for "Disable Middle Name Warning for First Name field". === Preferred Name === :If there is more than one first name, the preferred one may be put here. If left blank, it will be filled automatically with the contents of the field above. === Last Name at Birth (LNAB) === :The '''Patronym as LNAB''' is the default rule for most Norwegians born before the legal requirements for surnames. Even if you're unsure if the person had a real surname, putting the patronym here is erring on the side of caution. However, there are distinct differences between the urban and the rural populations. In general, urban profiles from before 1814, and rural profiles from before 1923, should have the patronym as LNAB. The exceptions are: * if no patronym can be found, and/or if the subject or their immediate ancestors were immigrants to Norway and carried the culture of fixed surnames with them. * If a person is mentioned in ''contemporary sources'' mainly by an inherited surname, rather than by patronym, use of the proper surname may be warranted. :Rather than using the common abbreviations for patronyms found in records (eg. Olsdtr), the full name (Olsdatter) ''must'' be entered. This is important, because the system currently doesn't recognize that an "Olsdtr" and an "Olsdatter" may be the same person. Hence using abbreviated names will hide the profile from potential matches. Whether you will use "-datter" or "-dotter" is optional, as "-sen", "-son", and "-sson" are interchangeable for males. :Many Norwegian profiles are created with an LNAB consisting of Patronym + Farm name, like "Olsen Berg". This has the unfortunate effect that neither the Patronym nor the Farm name will show up in searches or as possible matches, and is strongly discouraged. :When no patronym is known, which is often the case for early 17th century farmers, it's usually better to use the farm name than Unknown. See for instance [[Gisholt-3|Lars Gisholt]]. On the other hand, when not even a place of living is really known, you should rather use Unknown. See [[Andersdatter-1630|Anne Andersdatter "Aadna"]]'s first two husbands. === Current/Married last Name === :For most Norwegians before 1923 this would be the farm name where they spent the most time in their life or the last part of their life. For the urban population before about 1814, the CLN field will often be the best place to put family names; see the discussion under LNAB above. :For women who adopted a husband's surname, enter it here. Note that very few women took their husband's last name, and they ''never'' took their husband's patronym as their last name. :For Norwegians who emigrated to countries where inherited surnames were used (USA, Canada, Australia etc.) enter the surname they adopted here. === Other Last Names === :If they used more than one farm name in their lifetime, the farm names not used in Current Last Name would go here. There could be several. Separate by commas, as in "Fjell, Berg, Dal". :If you don't like the thought of your ancestor being somehow "married" to the farm, you may of course enter even the primary farm name in this field. The expression "Ole Berg formerly Olsen" as found on the main Profile screen may look disturbing, and some people prefer "Ole Olsen aka Berg" which more closely follows the historical custom. The flip side is of course that the Other name will never be seen anywhere but on the main Profile screen. It doesn't matter much for practical purposes either way, if you follow the main rule of "Patronym as LNAB". === Middle Name === :This field should not be used for most Norwegians prior to the adoption of inherited surnames. For modern Norwegians who now use a middle name it may be entered here. The idiosyncratic American custom of hiding the middle name usually doesn't apply to Norwegians, so if you want your own middle name to be visible at all times, there's no choice but to make it part of your first name. === Biography === :Record the full names as given in important sources, with source references, at the start of the biography. This will help us when it comes to rationalizing and merging profiles. == Further Reading == :A thorough discussion on Norwegian naming, with many good links, can be found on the [http://www.norwaydna.no/gedcoms-and-genealogy/norwegian-names-en/ Norwegian Names page at www.norwaydna.no].

[[Category: Reliable Sources for Pre-1700 Profiles]] [[Category: Norway Genealogy Resources]] Before jumping into the muddy waters of Pre-1700 Norwegian genealogy, this article by Lars Løberg, one of the most esteemed contemporary Norwegian genealogists, is recommended reading: * [https://genealogi.no/3d-flip-book/norwegian-kings-and-vikings-do-they-belong-in-your-family-tree/ Norwegian Kings and Vikings - Do they belong in our Family Tree?] Please note that there are extremely few sources before 1600 which are usable for Norwegian genealogy. Early 17th century sources consist mainly of fiscal registers. From the second half of the century, sources begin to become abundant, notably the male censuses of the 1660s; probate protocols and court protocols from about the same time. Parish registers, the staple of Norwegian genealogy, become widespread around 1700. It should also be said that the Norwegian genealogical community is small, and almost nothing of modern Norwegian genealogy research has been published in English for an international public. == Reliable Sources == * Those who are able to read old Danish-Norwegian handwriting, will find a cornucopia of scanned original documents at [https://www.digitalarkivet.no Digitalarkivet], the National Archives of Norway's own web site. A small part has been transcribed and converted to searchable format. Here is the [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/search/sources entry page for searches]. * [https://www.dokpro.uio.no/dipl_norv/diplom_field_eng.html Diplomatarium Norvegicum (search)]. The printed edition consists of 23 volumes containing the transcription of approximately 20 000 diplomas connected to Norway in the period 1050 to 1590. Documents in Diplomatarium Norvegicum may be reliable in the sense that you can read that so-and-so is the son of so-and-so, but they are far too spread out in space and time to build genealogies upon. Many have tried, and failed miserably, often by introducing fictitious intermediate generations. Also, medieval sources are often written by persons who had their own axes to grind, and therefore may not always be taken at face value. It takes lots of expertise to assess those documents. Most of those relevant to living people are probably summed up in a couple of paragraphs, cf Lars Løberg above. * [https://nbl.snl.no/ Norwegian biographical lexicon] is mostly correct, but contains disputed material. * Current pre-1700 genealogical research is primarily published in the periodical ''Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift'' (NST), issued twice annually, which since the late 1990s has been recognised as a scientific publication, with peer-reviewed articles. Earlier articles from NST, starting in 1927, are of variable quality. == Reliable with conditions == [https://www.findagrave.com/ Find A Grave], [https://billiongraves.com/ Billiongraves] and [https://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/vis.php?mode=x Slekt og Data Cemeteries in Norway] would be deemed reliable only when a picture of the headstone is provided. Remember that even grave markers can have errors in name spelling and dates. The Norwegian "[[Space:Norway%20Farm%20and%20Family%20Books|Farm and Family Books]]", commonly known under the term "Bygdeboks" are, by and large, fairly reliable sources. They are usually written by authors who have worked for many years with the subject, backed up by local Bygdebok committees who have contributed with countless hours of groundwork, from interviews with old folks to archive transcriptions. In general, books produced after 1970 should be considered more reliable than the older ones. Claims about family lines extending back before the Reformation (1530s) should always be regarded with scepticism. For genealogy later than the "source horizon", which for Norway's part is about 1600, even the older bygdeboks usually are quite reliable. But beware of medieval fantasies, which abound in the pre-WW2 works. See below. == Unreliable Sources == * A few books from the 1920s and 1930s present lines going back to the Viking kings through "conjectures", which in genealogy normally is an euphemism for "wishful thinking". In particular, the book "'''Vore Fælles Ahner'''" ("Our Common Ancestors") by C.M. Munthe should be avoided. Unfortunately, many family trees found on the Web are partially based on this book. * There exists a considerable body of work produced by Americans with Norwegian ancestors about their Norse origins. Most of the older works suffer from their age, but even more recent works are out of touch with modern Norwegian research. A book by Henrik O. Lunde: ''Some Old Norse Families'' (Enoch Haga Publisher, Folsom California, 2009) deserves a special warning, as one may be tempted to believe that it builds on current Norwegian research status. Sadly, it doesn't. Lars Løberg wrote a review of this work in the periodical ''Genealogen'' in 2010, where his conclusion is: "The best that can be said about this book is that it may be useful to Anglophone readers who want to get an idea about how difficult the field of Norwegian medieval genealogy is, but who at the same time have the necessary critical sense to not automatically accept all of Lunde's aristocratic connections. For Norwegian-speaking readers, the book is worthless."

[[Category: Denmark Project]] =Guidelines for Fitting Danish Naming Conventions Into Wikitree Name Fields= ==Situations For Which Decisions Have Not Yet Been Made== *Names for people born in the duchies of Slesvig and Holstein will be addressed in later guidelines. *Use after the 1904 name laws of former tilnavn and patronymics inserted between given names and a formal fixed slægtsnavn will be addressed in later guidelines. Guidelines for tilnavn and patronymics before 1904 appear below. *Persons for whom no birth record can be found will be addressed in later guidelines. *Situations where people did not follow the naming law in the church records will be addressed in later guidelines. ==General Guidelines== #The first step is to  research a person thoroughly and hopefully find a baptismal / birth record and other family records as well. #Last Name at Birth and Current Last Name fields will be reserved for slægtsnavn and patronymic names. #All given names will be placed in the Proper First Name field. #If the person used one given name most of the time throughout life, that name may be placed in the Preferred First Name field. #The Middle Name field will be reserved for real middle names as defined in Danish law and the Project Denmark Discussion Draft for Danish Names. If there is no real middle name, the button for no middle name should be marked. Middle names were not recognized by Danish law prior to 1904. #Tilnavn should be placed in the Other Last Name field without parentheses. #Since parentheses are not permitted in name fields and none of the name fields are a good fit for tilnavn, a name note or section should be included at the top of the biography section of all profiles with Danish names, especially those with tilnavn. The name section should first show the name as it would best be displayed taking into account all given names, true middle names, patronyms, slægtsnavn, and tilnavn used on known records. The tilnavn here should be enclosed in parentheses at the end of the full name as was often done in Danish church records. If differing forms of the name were used on different records, which names were used when should be explained in either this section or later in the biography as each record is discussed. #*This name section may include a reference or link to the free space page for Danish Naming Conventions and Related Wikitree Name Field Guidelines. To include such a link in the name section of the biography, copy this text: [[Space:Project_Denmark_Discussion_Draft_for_Danish_Names|Danish Naming Conventions and Related Wikitree Name Field Guidelines]] #*A sample name section might read as follows: ::'''Name:''' ::Jens Nielsen (Rod) ::In most records, Jens is listed as Jens Nielsen. In some records, his name is Jens Nielsen Rod to distinguish him from other men also named Jens Nielsen. ::Danish names of this time period consisted of the given name(s), either a patronym (name based on father's given name, used primarily before 1828) or a slægtsnavn (fixed inheritable family name required after 1829 which defaulted to a frozen patronymic name if there was no nonpatronymic family name), and sometimes a tilnavn (a descriptive name used at the end of a name, sometimes in parentheses, to distinguish a person from others with the same or similar name. See [[Space:Project_Denmark_Discussion_Draft_for_Danish_Names|Danish Naming Conventions and Related Wikitree Name Field Guidelines]]. Jens is a given name. Nielsen is a true patronym based on Jens' father's given name. It was used throughout his life as his slægtsnavn. (Rod) is a tilnavn. ==Persons Born After the Adoption of Standardized Forms Between 1812 and 1814== ===Where a Baptismal or Birth Record Has Been Found=== #These forms usually have a column for the child's full name and another column for the parents' names.  All the names in the child's full name column need to be reflected somewhere in the Wikitree name fields. #When there are only two names in the child's name column, the first one is nearly always a given name which goes in the Proper First Name field. The second one is either a slægtsnavn that goes in the Last Name at Birth field or it is a true patronymn where no slægtsnavn had been adopted yet, so it still goes in the Last Name at Birth field.  ====Baptismal Record between 1812 and 1828 With Three or More Names in the Child's Name Column==== #These baptismal records were made before the general law requiring all Danish people to have slægtsnavn (inheritable family names)), so it is necessary to compare the child's full name to the father's full name and determine the type of name for each of the child's names. #If the child's name ends with the father's first name followed by -sen for a boy or -datter or -dr for a girl, assume that part of the name is a true patronymic name and put it in the LNAB field. Assume the rest of the names appearing in the child's name column are given names, and place them all in the Proper First Name field. #If the child's name ends with the same name as the father's name ends with and they do not have the same given name, assume the part of the child's name that matches the end of the father's name is a slægtsnavn (which includes frozen patronymic names) and put it in the LNAB field. Assume the rest of the names appearing in the child's name column are given names, and place them all in the Proper First Name field. ====Baptismal Record between 1829 and 1903 With Three or More Names in the Child's Name Column==== #These baptismal records were made after the decree requiring all families to adopt slægtsnavn in the form of a frozen patronymic period. Compare the child's full name to the father's full name on the baptismal record. #Although this was the time period of the frozen male patronymic as slægtsnavn by law, the law was often ignored in church records in favor of true patronymic names especially in the early part of this period in rural areas. This situation will be addressed in later guidelines. #If the child's name ends with the same name as the father's name ends with, assume the part of the child's name that matches the ending of the father's name is some sort of slægtsnavn (frozen male patronymic or an earlier type of slægtsnavn) and put it in the LNAB field. #Next, if the child has more than two names, look to see if the name just before the slægtsnavn is a true patronym based on the father's first name. If so, put that name in the Other Last Name field. (If it is a frozen patronym, it will be addressed in later guidelines.) #Assume the rest of the names appearing in the child's name column are given names, and place them all in the Proper First Name field. ====Baptismal Record between 1904 and the Present With Three or More Names in the Child's Name Column==== #During this period, it really helps to know the full names of all parents and grandparents, including both their slægtsnavn and tilnavn. Compare the child's full name to the full name of both parents, and all four grandparents including their tilnavn. #If the child's name in the baptismal register ends with the same name as any parent's or grandparent's name ends with or with the same name which any parent or grandparent used as a tilnavn, assume that part of the name is the child's slægtsnavn and put it in the LNAB field. #If the child has more than two names in the baptismal register, and the one before the slægtsnavn name appears to be a patronymic name, another type of slægtsnavn name shared with a parent or grandparent or other relative, or a tilnavn of a parent or grandparent or other relative, assume it is a true middle name reserved for possible future adoption as a slægtsnavn and put it in the Middle Name field. #Put the rest of the child's names in the Proper First Name field. =Danish Naming Patterns in Practice= ==Given Names or First Names== The Danish people used only a very few common given names from medieval times through the 19th century.Oskar Bandle; Kurt Braunmuller; Ernst-Hakon Jahr; Allan Karker; Hans-Peter Naumann, The Nordic Languages: an International Handbook of the History of the North Germanic Languages, (New York : Walter De Gruyter Incorporated, Nov. 2004.), v. 2, p. 1315 There were far fewer feminine given names than masculine given names. The practice of naming people after relatives preserved this pattern. Although there was a greater variety of given names in Copenhagen, the pattern of a few common given names exists throughout the country in both rural and urban areas. In the late 17th century, the number of feminine given names was expanded by the practice of adding "e" or "ine" to masculine names creating names like Christiane, Wilhelmine and Rasmine. Still the variety of given names was very limited until the 20th century. (need source) Until the end of the 17th century, most people had only one given name. Then the Danish royalty and nobility borrowed the German practice of giving children multiple given names. That practice spread rapidly throughout the whole country in the early 17th century. With the introduction of multiple given names, variety grew among given names and especially given name combinations. All given names are generally considered equal. Any one or any combination can be used at any time with none having any greater significance than another. The Danish people did not have the Anglo-American concept of middle names until the mid twentieth century when they adopted it as a place for keeping significant types of names that people did not want to give up. See section on Twentieth Century and Later Middle Names below. ==Names Other Than given names== In Danish culture, people can have several types of names other than given names, with different rules applying to each. The three major types are slægtsnavn, patronyms and tilnavn.Danish Kin: Naming Traditions - Advanced naming traditions by Lars Jørgen Helbo (http://www.danishkin.com/namingtraditions.html : accessed 20 Apr 2017) When something other than a single given name became necessary, the system first adopted was a genuine patronymic name. They pass from father to child according to a set of rules which results in the patronym changing every generation. True patronyms provide information as to parentage. Girls were given their father's name with the suffix "datter." Boys were given their father's name with the suffix "sen." Oskar Bandle; Kurt Braunmuller; Ernst-Hakon Jahr; Allan Karker; Hans-Peter Naumann, The Nordic Languages: an International Handbook of the History of the North Germanic Languages, (New York : Walter De Gruyter Incorporated, Nov. 2004.), v. 2, p. 1316 That system stuck and was difficult to dislodge. Slægtsnavn are the newest of the three types and the most like surnames of other western cultures. They are family based names which pass from parent (usually father) to child according to a different set of rules than patronyms. Slægtsnavn rules are usually set by official legislation and are intended to result in a fairly stable line with the same or very similar name for members of the same family line over several generations. Slægtsnavn can provide useful genealogical information once they are adopted by a family as long as members of the family do not change them. Slægtsnavn or fixed family names are the closest fit for the Anglo-European-American concept of surnames or last names. They were not common in Danish culture until late modern history. Their use was strongly resisted by large portions of the Danish people, especially by the common people and in rural areas where true patronyms were preferred. The third type, tilnavn or by-name, is characterized by a lack of rules and a wide variety of sources. These tilnavn or by-names came from a wide variety of sources including physical characteristics like Rod (red) or Gråe (grey); names of animals or birds like Hjort (deer) or Ravn (raven); terms indicating geographic origin like Fynbo (native of Funen); occupational terms like Fisken (fisherman); place names and typographical terms; and others. A tilnavn is a type of "use name" or "by-name" that develops informally during a person's lifetime from what a person is called in daily life. It may or may not get used in more formal settings. It may or may not pass from parent to child, but generally does not continue through multiple generations unless it is converted to a slægtsnavn. In Anglo-American naming conventions, we are accustomed to the use of nicknames as an alternative to the given names. In some senses, a tilnavan is sort of like a nickname. But a tilnavan are not alternatives to Danish given names. They are more like the concept of dit names in French influenced cultures in that they are most often used as an adjunct or alternative to either a patronym or family name. In French and French influenced cultures, dit names are an adjunct or alternative to the family name which can come from a variety of sources like physical characteristics, locations, occupations, where a person came from, or anything else that can distinguish one person from another with similar names. Dit names may or may not eventually morph into a new family name for a branch of the family. Similarly tilnavan can, but often do not, become a new family name. When used with a patronym, they often appear in parentheses after the patronym. Tilnavan are rarely, if ever, used in place of a given name. Tilnavan rarely convey information about whom the person is related to, but they can be helpful in separating out multiple people with the same given name(s) and patronym or slægtsnavn. (Sources needed for some of this.) Much of the confusion in Danish names arises from trying to force the names people used before they had real slægtsnavn into the Anglo-European-American concept of surnames or last names. When slægtsnavn were mandated by the government, frozen patronyms and tilnavn became common sources, but not the only sources, for the required slægtsnavn. When people refused to comply, frozen patronyms became the primary default for the required slægtsnavn, but people still did not always comply leading to the eventual adoption of a patronym frozen later in time as the family slægtsnavn. ===Slægtsnavn or Surnames for the Nobility=== A few fixed inheritable family names appear among the nobility as early as the 13th century, but the spread was slow. By the time of King Frederick's 1526 decree, at least half the nobility had adopted fixed inheritable family names. Family Search has identified 29 family names of nobility appearing in Denmark and has wiki pages for each.Category:Danish noble families (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Danish_noble_families : accessed 20 Apr 2017) ===Latinised Slægtsnavn or Surnames for Clergy and Educated Town Dwellers=== Inheritable family names next spread to the clergy and some educated town dwellers in the later 16th and 17th century. Some were ordinary patronymic names with Latin declension endings such as Jensenius. Others were Latin translations of common given names with Latin declension endings like Olivarius which is derived from Holgersen. Still others were latinised versions of place names such as Scavenius derived from Skagen. Some were latinised versions of occupations such as Fabricus from the latin for smith. Although the Latin fad for creating new latin family names stopped around 1700, some remain in the Danish collection of inheritable family names or slægtsnavn. ===Slægtsnavn or Surnames of Town Dwelling Merchant and Middle Class=== The rest of the town dwellers, other than the poorest peasant class, generally adopted the custom of inheritable family names in the 17th and 18th century, but did not adopt the fad for latinisation. They generally adopted Danish forms of place names and occupational terms, although some adopted Germanized forms of such names. ===Slægtsnavn or Surnames of the Town Dwelling Poor=== The poor, even in the towns, were slow to abandon the patronymic system. The patronymic sen and datter names are still found among the poorest of the peasant classes in the towns in the mid 18th century. As the monarch and government issued decrees and laws, these remaining patronymic names were frozen in their masculine form to create inheritable family names. ===The Majority of Denmark: Slægtsnavn or Surnames in the Rural Areas=== Until about the 1870's when industrialization caused a migration of people to the cities, the majority of Denmark's population lived in rural areas.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Denmark#Industrialisation Wikipedia: History of Denmark: Industrialisation] Fixed inheritable family surnames did not become a reality in this part of the population until the mid 19th century. When these people did begin to adopt something other than the pure given names + patronym system, they adopted tilnavn. After adopting a tilnavn, these people continued to refer to themselves by their given names and patronyms as well. They just adopted the additional unofficial tilnavin or by-name and used it in addition to or in place of their patronym sometimes in a manner that seemed to have no rhyme or reason. They often appear in records in parentheses following the given names and patronym. The most important point is that the tilnavin/by-names and patronyms were rarely consistently throughout a person's life. ==The Effect of Marriage on Patronyms and Slægtsnavn== Marriage did not change a woman's true patronym. Even after a family acquired a slægtsnavn which passed down from the father, women did not typically change their slægtsnavn to their husband's slægtsnavn until the middle of the 19th century. Beginning in the mid 19th, the husband's slægtsnavn custom slowly began to change toward women adopting their husband's slægtsnavn upon marriage. From the early to mid 20th century, most women adopted their husband's on marriage. Then in the later 20th century, the practice began shifting back toward women retaining their own slægtsnavn or family name. A third option of joining their husband's slægtsnavn to their own with a hyphen has also become common. Now in the 21st century, choice is the custom.Family Search Wiki: Denmark Names, Personal (https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Denmark_Names,_Personal : accessed 21 Apr 2017) ==The Real Danish Middle Name== The middle name is an additional Danish naming pattern that was not officially incorporated into Danish naming law until the 20th Century but which had developed among the affluent parts of Danish society sometime prior to that. It is use to park or save a name of a type that could be a slægtsnavn but is not the person's official slægtsnavn. It is definitely not a given name. It is typically used to honor a parent, grandparent or godparent or person of importance or to preserve a family name from the mother's line or to preserve a tilnavan used for several years that did not become the family slægtsnavn.Wikipedia: Middle Name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_name : accessed 20 Apr 2017). Hans Viggo Godsk Pedersen; Ingrid Lund-Andersen, Family law in Denmark (København : DJØF Pub 2011), ch. 4, sec. 4 =Efforts at Change: Danish Naming Laws= ==1526: King Frederik's Decree that Nobility Adopt Slægtsnavn== King Frederick, then King of Denmark and Norway issued a decree that all members of the nobility who considered themselves to be of the same family on the father's side were to have the same slægtsnavn or surname. The nobility were small and not opposed to adopting slægtsnavn. ==1771 Duchy of Schleswig Mandating Adoption of Slægtsnavn by All People== In 1771 a royal decree was issued in the Duchy of Schleswig requiring that all children be given a slægtsnavn fixed family name at baptism. Parents were given the choice of surname to give their children but without guidance as to what should or should not be used. Oskar Bandle; Kurt Braunmuller; Ernst-Hakon Jahr; Allan Karker; Hans-Peter Naumann, The Nordic Languages: an International Handbook of the History of the North Germanic Languages, (New York : Walter De Gruyter Incorporated, Nov. 2004.), v. 2, p. 1317 Some parents adopted a parent's (usually the father's) tilnavin/by-name for their children's fixed surname at baptism. Many priests suggested this option to parents. At other times, they adopted what would have been the child's patronymic name which had the effect of freezing the family's patronymic name at that point in time. Dissatisfied with the frozen patronymic, later generations sometimes inserted a true patronymic between the child's given names and the decreed fixed surname. This practice was particularly common in the northern part of Schleswig, later known as Sønderjylland. ==1828/1829 Royal Decree Mandating Slægtsnavn for All People in the Rest of Denmark== No such effort was made to require the common people of the rest of Denmark to adopt slægtsnavn or fixed family names until 1828. That decree was so vague that it had to be reissued with clarification in 1829. Together these decrees mandated that all people would henceforth have a slægtsnavn or fixed family name. It fixed that slægtsnavn at the current patronym in the masculine form, converting all the names ending in datter to ending in sen. Danish Name Laws (https://everything2.com/title/Danish+name+laws : accessed 20 Apr 2017) The population generally resisted the law thinking the idea of giving girls names ending in sen was ridculous. With the acquiescence of the church, especially in rural areas, many families continued changing the patronymic with each generation and even more refused to apply the male ending sen to girls. ==1856 Constitutional Monarchy Issues Law Reinforcing Mandatory Slægtsnavn== So many people ignored the 1828 mandatory slægtsnavn decree that in 1856, the constitutional monarchy government issued a law making it clear that patronymic surnames are now frozen once and for all and are inherited by future generations. Many peasant families continued to oppose the new practice, and the old style patronymics changing every generation continued to exist in many areas into the 1870s. ==1904 Law Permits Changing Slægtsnavn To Something Other Than Frozen Patronym== Because there were so few masculine given names in use, and thus only a few slægtsnavn based on freezing the limited number of existing patronyms, Denmark wound up with too many people having the same few last names mostly ending in sen. So in 1904, a new slægtsnavn law was passed. People were allowed to change their slægtsnavn name to a name of their choice based on a tilnavn or by-name of a parent or grandparent, or on a place name of property or lands owned by the family for at least two generations. Divorced women who had changed to their husband's slægtsnavn could apply to regain the use of their maiden slægtsnavn or family names. A list of typical Danish place names permitted for use as slægtsnavn was also compiled. To protect existing family names of prestigious families from being overrun by social climbers, a list of "protected" names was also compiled, and families could apply to have their name protected. ==1961 Efforts to Equalize Naming Between Sexes and In or Out of Wedlock== By 1961, the Danish government was ready to take another crack at revising the naming law. This time, the focus was on creating equality of treatment between men and women and between children born within and out of wedlock.Hans Viggo Godsk Pedersen; Ingrid Lund-Andersen, Family law in Denmark (København : DJØF Pub 2011), ch. 4, sec. 1 The 1961 law is the apparently the point at which the Danish government began regulating given names as well as slægtsnavn. A person must have at least one given name/given name/first name. Additional given names/first names are permitted, apparently with no limit on the total number. The government adopted a list of approved given names and a process for petitioning to have names not on the list approved. Given names must reflect the child's gender. No name can be on both the approved list for boys and the approved list for girls. They cannot be slægtsnavn names, trademarks, company names, place names or names commonly given to pets. They also cannot be names that would expose a child to ridicule or problems later in life.Richard Jenkins, "Being Danish : Paradoxes of Identity in Everyday Life," (Copenhagen : Museum Tusculanum, 2011), pp. 166-167Hans Viggo Godsk Pedersen; Ingrid Lund-Andersen, Family law in Denmark (København : DJØF Pub 2011), ch. 4, sec. 3 ==1981 Name Law== ==2005 Name Law== =Wikitree Naming Guidelines and What Other Projects Have Done= Wikitree's naming guidelines are collected at our [[Name_Fields]] wiki. Other projects have gone before us in creating naming conventions for fitting their culture's names into Wikitree's name data fields. Please look at them to get your brains going. At present, the Dutch Roots conventions appear to be the closest to what Project Denmark will have to cope with. However, their guidelines do not seem to address either a concept similar to tilnavn or the different periods of naming laws which the Danish Project must cope with. The Sweden Project has a lot in common with the Denmark Project except they also seem to lack the concept of tilnavn and the Swedish government didn't start tinkering with names until 1901 and did not require family names until 1963 which pretty much limits that change to living people. European Aristocrats have had to deal with variations that apply only to specific time periods and/or only specific subareas of their geographic area and or only specific languages. Czech Roots has both gender ending differences and the influence of a major second language, German, on names. Project Denmark will have to deal with both gender differences in patronymics and the German language effect in the Duchies of Slesvig and Holstein. Czech Roots also has the general lack of middle names. No other set of guidelines seems to address a concept quite like tilnavn. The French new world concept of dit names comes the closest, but tilnavn have no signal like the words "dit" and "dite" which signal which part of the name is a descriptive adopted end name. The Denmark Project will have to deal with all of these issues as well as the practical issues related to a large portion of the populace ignoring the name law for nearly a century. Links to naming conventions guides for Wikitree created by other projects are collected in the [[Space:Name_Field_Guidelines]] wiki. =References=

The most important name in Iceland is the first name. When people talk about Jón Þórsson, they never call him Þórsson but always use his first name Jón, often using the place where he lives if they need to specify which Jón they talk about. Patronyms are mostly used in writing and official occasions. * '''Patronyms''' are derived from the father's first name followed by -son or -dóttir. The above example Jón Þórsson is Jón son of Þór and his sister would be Guðrún Þórsdóttir, daughter of Þór. * '''Matronyms''' are like the patronyms, but they use the mother's name instead if the father's. If Jón and Guðrún above would have matronyms after their mother Helga they would be Jón Helgusson and Guðrún Helgudóttir. * '''Avonyms''' would be used to distinguish two people living in a community with the same name. This would then be the paternal grandfather. Let's say that Þór's father was Ólafur. That would make Jón's name Jón Þórsson Ólafssonar. That would tell him apart from Jón Þórsson Eyjólfssonar living next door.

[[Category: Nordic Project]] [[Category: Denmark Project]] '''Category Structure for Danish Place Locations''' This is an example of the new location structure in English and Danish (prior to 1970 when herred/hundred is replaced by kommune/municipality); : English language structure: * [[Category: Denmark]] ** [[Category: Denmark, Counties]] *** [[Category: Hjørring County, Denmark]] **** [[Category: Børglum Sogn, Børglum Herred]] : Danish language structure: * [[Category: Danmark]] ** [[Category: Danmark, Amter]] *** [[Category: Hjørring Amt, Danmark]] **** [[Category: Børglum Sogn, Børglum Herred]] The landing point for profiles of both the English and Danish category structure is one and the same. According to CategorisationProject "It is not necessary for a particular location category to be created in every language” which is good, there are about 2000 parishes in Denmark. Therefore we suggest that the category names of said landing level will be in Danish, since anyone who researches Danish ancestors would most likely learn to be familiar with the term "sogn" and "herred". This is an example of such a page, using the Location Category Info Box; [[:Category:B%C3%B8rglum_Sogn%2C_B%C3%B8rglum_Herred ]] By including the herred (hundred) in the category name it is going to be easy to separate two parishes with the same name, example [[Category: Vejlby, Sønderhald Herred]] and [[Category: Vejlby, Djurs Sønder Herred]]. even if they would be located within the same amt/county. We also suggest that the spelling of the Danish category names should use the "old spelling" Aa, example Aalborg instead of Ålborg since the spelling with Å was introduced officially as late as 1953. Most profiles will probably belong to the time period before 1970 and is the most important period to start working on. In modern times, from 1970, the herred/hundred has been replaced by kommune/municpality. This is an example of the new location structure for the time period 1970-2006

If needed, additional structure can be created for modern times later on, based on the structure examples provided above. ---- Edited to add; * 2021-05-20: As for smaller locations than the parish (like a village), they can be placed under the sogn/herred category.

A castle county payed taxes to the castle.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slottsl%C3%A4n Wikipedia on Castle Counties] Then there were counties for members of the Royal family, deposit counties for people who had loaned the state money, and counties that in return would give military favours.[http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_l%C3%A4n Wikipedia on Swedish Counties] The number and borders of the counties have more or less been the same since 1810, but three major changes have been made since the 1960's. In 1968 the city of Stockholm and the county of Stockholm were merged into [[:Category: Stockholm County|Stockholm County]]. In 1997 the counties of [[:Category: Kristianstad County|Kristianstad]] and [[:Category: Malmöhus County|Malmöhus]] were merged into [[:Category: Skåne County|Skåne County]], and in 1998 [[:Category: Gothenburg and Bohus County|Göteborg and Bohus County]], [[:Category:Älvsborg County|Älvsborg County]] and [[:Category:Skaraborg County|Skaraborg County]] were merged into [[:Category:Västra Götaland County|Västra Götaland County]].[http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_l%C3%A4n Wikipedia on Swedish Counties] The state is represented on the county level by the County Governor who is the president of the County Administrative Board.[http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_administrativa_indelning Wikipedia on the administrative divisions of Sweden] In genealogy research, you often encounter the Swedish County Codes, in Swedish called "Länsbokstav", which is literally translated as “county letter".

The parish was defined as the geographical area where the residents all visited the same church. As some areas became more populated, parishes were divided and new ones were formed. Up until the 1860's the parishes also took care of much of the administration for the state on the local level, keeping records of who were born, married, died, where they lived and other information. Those are the records that allow us to do genealogy research for the general population in Sweden as far back as the 17th century. * [[:Category: Parishes, Sweden|Parishes, Sweden]] category For more information on the parishes, see * [https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden:_The_Parish_(Socken) FamilySearch on The Parish]. * [http://www.skatteverket.se/privat/folkbokforing/omfolkbokforing/folkbokforingigaridag/sverigesforsamlingargenomtiderna.4.18e1b10334ebe8bc80003817.html Sveriges församlingar genom tiderna] === Municipalities (in Swedish: kommuner) === In 1863 the first local government acts were implemented. This meant that the responsibilities of the parishes were split into the ecclestial responsibilities of the church and the wordly responsibilities of the municipalities. Besides the municipalities, which were initially coterminous with the parishes, there were also incorporated towns and market towns. Altogether there were around 2.500 municipalites in 1863. Reforms in 1943, 1952 and 1962 plus some later border changes reduced the number to what it is today. The municipalities constitute the lowest level of local government in Sweden. They are responsible for many public services, such as schools, emergency services and urban planning.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipalities_of_Sweden Wikipedia on the municipalities of Sweden] === Judicial Districts === There used to be leets called hundreds ''(härad)'' and each hundred comprised a number of parishes.

The purpose of this page is to give examples of acceptable spellings (and Swedish grammar) of Swedish locations often used in location fields, mainly those of counties and provinces. If a county/län, or a province, is misspelled in the location field for a birth, marriage or death it will most likely generate a DataBase Error/Suggestion that will need to be handled. This page was created as an aid on how to spell these locations correctly. Please note that a county without the addition of the word "län" is still allowed in the location fields for Swedish profiles. There are simply too many location entries to edit if locations on that "level" were made into a DataBase Error/Suggestion. However, that does not mean that we can't strive to be correct and add the word län (when appropriate) while working on profiles for other reasons. == Swedish Counties == WikiTree says we should "use their convention instead of ours" so we should use the Swedish word for county in the location fields, and not the English one. Counties in Swedish are called län, spelled with a lowercase L (not a capital i). Some counties were given the same name as the province, which will of course make it harder to tell them apart. It is therefore encouraged by the Sweden Project to include the word "län" in the location fields, or anywhere else, in order to clarify what is meant and not add to the confusion. Note that some counties and provinces with the same name do not necessarily cover the same geographical area. These are the correct spellings of the counties and provinces: === [[:Category: Blekinge County|Blekinge county]] - [[:Category: Blekinge län|Blekinge län]] === *Blekinge län, Sverige *Blekinge län (K), Sverige *Blekinge län, Sweden *Blekinge, Sverige *Blekinge, Sweden : Start date: 1683, still used today : Geographically identical with Blekinge province === [[:Category: Dalarna County|Dalarna county]] - [[:Category: Dalarnas län|Dalarnas län]] === Dalarnas län ONLY to be used 1997-01-01 and onwards (before that the name was Kopparbergs län, it was more a name change than a geographical change, same county letter used for both old and new) *Dalarnas län, Sverige *Dalarnas län (W), Sverige *Dalarnas län, Sweden *Dalarna, Sverige *Dalarna, Sweden : If just adding "Dalarna, Sverige" or "Dalarna, Sweden" one might assume you are mening the province/landskap named Dalarna and not the county/län. === [[:Category: Gotland County|Gotland county]] - [[: Category: Gotlands län|Gotlands län]] === *Gotlands län, Sverige *Gotlands län (I), Sverige *Gotlands län, Sweden *Gotland, Sweden *Gotland, Sverige : Start date: 1645, still used today : Geographically identical with Gotland province === [[:Category:Gävleborg County|Gävleborg county]] - [[:Category:Gävleborgs län|Gävleborgs län]] === *Gävleborgs län, Sverige *Gävleborgs län (X), Sverige *Gävleborgs län, Sweden *Gävleborg, Sverige *Gävleborg, Sweden : Start date: 1762-06-29 : No province with the same name === [[:Category:Gothenburg and Bohus County|Göteborg and Bohus county]] - [[:Category:Göteborgs och Bohus län|Göteborgs och Bohus län]] === Should category name be edited?

[[Category:Swedish Names]] [[Category:Sweden_Genealogy_Resources]] The purpose of this page is to explain and present how person and location names are added correctly to the data fields for Swedish profiles of "ordinary people." (Separate guidelines/rules will be worked out for names of Noble families, including Royals, and for "men of the church" who often used names in Latin. Link will be added here once done.) If you want an explanation of standards for a whole profile, please check [[:Space:Sweden_Project_-_Swedish_Profile_Standards]] as the purpose of this page is to focus only on being a guide for name and location fields. == How to add Swedish Names and Locations into WT's Data Fields == First of all, it is never appropriate to use ALL CAPS in any data field so please don’t do that (not even to mark out a call name/preferred name). There is a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the WikiTree name fields which can be found here, [[:Name_Fields]], but please note that different rules based on geography are also a reality because WT says '''we should use their convention instead of ours.''' That means, among other things, that when creating a profile, names (and locations) should be spelled correctly in the native language of the person/profile to avoid duplicates (spellings in Swedish using Å, å, Ä, ä, Ö, ö for example). Another example, WikiTree calls the field for given names “Proper First Name” which can give the impression that only one name is allowed. Perhaps you have even experienced a warning text. However, '''multiple names are allowed''', and the message can be turned off in your settings. In fact, middle names are something that did not exist in many European countries until modern times. In the text explaining the [[Help:Settings#Middle_Name_Warning|Middle Name Warning]] it actually says “Some cultures do not have middle names at all, and therefore certain members do not need to see the Middle Name Warning. If you select this setting, it will be turned off.” Therefore, multiple names can, and should, be added to “Proper First Name” when working on Swedish profiles and finding more than one given name in the sources. If you have questions about Swedish names not explained by this page you might want to check the [[:Category: Swedish Names]]. You can also ask in the Nordic Google Group and if you are not part of the Nordic Project you can ask questions in G2G, be sure to tag your question with country and also "Nordic". === Name fields for Swedish profiles === When creating a profile, ensure that names are correctly spelled in the native language of the person/profile to avoid duplicates (spellings with å, ä, ö for example). ==== Proper First Name ==== '''ALL''' given names should be added to this field. The names should be added in the same order mentioned in an official birth certificate or christening/baptismal record. Example: Carl Gustaf or Ingrid Victoria Sofia Louise Margareta. ==== Preferred Name ==== This field can unfortunately not be left empty and you should not assume that the first of two (or more) given names is the preferred name unless it is documented by sources. It would, for example, sometimes be just as wrong to separate Carl Gustaf as it would be to separate Mary Lou. It is generally not until the latest century that first names are spelled with a hyphen and Carl Gustaf becomes Carl-Gustaf. Furthermore, it is not unusual to find that ''all'' the given names at brith are listed in the church books so they are normally not a good source to indicate the preferred name for someone with several given names. Sometimes the names could even be inconsistent, so when in doubt, please add all the names as entered in the Proper First Name Field. You may also check the radio button for "Uncertain" to indicate that you do not know for certain which name(s) were used as the preferred name. However, if you find any of the names underlined in a church book, that would usually indicate the call name of the person. Then the Preferred Name Field can be edited to show that name but please also remember to mention in the bio how you have come to that conclusion. If the person was alive and known by you personally it is fine to add a preferred name. ==== Other Nicknames ==== This field can include multiple names separated by commas. The field is for nicknames or other names which the person was known as. Examples; Calle (nickname for Carl), Stina (sometimes nickname for Christina), Gamle Jon i Bua (Old Jon in Bua), Erik Skräddare (skräddare meaning tailor). Please, do not generally use the Nickname field for descriptive placeholders (such as an occupation or location) unless that person would have been well known by such a description and it is documented in a source. ==== Middle Name ==== Sweden did not really have middle names until modern times (with very few exceptions) and this field should not be used at all on most profiles of "common people." The button for "No Middle Name" should therefore be marked. Exceptions could be if a person emigrated and used a middle name in the new country (or if the use of an actual Swedish middle name can be proved with a source). '''Please note that anything entered in this field will be handled as a first name in searches.''' This is the main reason that patronyms added as a supplement of a family name should go in the Other Last Name Field. This way we can avoid creating unnecessary duplicates and find proper matches when searching. ==== Last Name At Birth ==== In Swedish genealogy research, very few parishes have a last name added to a child in the birth notice which sometimes can make it a bit difficult to be sure what the LNAB should be. Last names were usually not documented in church books until a youngster takes part in communion service the first time (konfirmation) or when he/she leaves home to start working or get married and in most cases, at least before 1850, it would be a patronymic last name. Patronymic exceptions earlier than that time period can usually be found among nobles and descendants of immigrants. Sometimes also among people living in towns (usually upper class like officers and merchants). Changing from patronymic names to family names took a long time in Sweden, generally starting abt 1875-1880 (earlier in towns than in the countryside). Usually, those who had a soldiers' name or a name taken when becoming masters of a craft (shoemakers, carpenters for example) would be the first who would use their given/taken last name as inherited family names. If the LNAB can not be found you can use Unknown. Or you should perhaps consider adding the person later when more research has been done and the Last Name at Birth has been found. Meanwhile, research notes for the person can be made in the profile of a spouse or a child. For more info on Swedish names, check out [[:Category: Swedish Names]] ==== Current Last Name ==== For non-living people, it should be the last name they were using at the time of their death. Please note that (most) Swedish women would not take their husband's last name until modern times (1900's). Do not assume that a woman used her husband's last name unless documented in sources. ==== Other Last Names ==== This field can include multiple names separated by commas. This field could be used for last name variations and alternative spellings of the last name in order to avoid duplicates being created. Examples; Karlsson and Carlsson are two different spellings of the same name, as is Persson, Pehrsson and Pärsson different spellings of the same name. So, if you encounter any different spellings of the last name in the church books, please add them to this field. It can also be used for patronymics in order to distinguish between several family members with the same first name and a family last name. It could also be wise to add a patronymic name as a complement for the first generation of a family using a family name. ---- === Location Fields === These instructions are for all three location fields (birth, marriage and death). Once again, WikiTree says '''we should use their convention instead of ours'''. Applied to locations, this means using place names in native languages and using the names that people at that time period used, even if the name of a location is no longer being used in modern times. That sometimes means using historical counties for example, not the modern-day regions. However, the modern spelling of locations is preferred, for example, the county Älvsborg in modern spelling and not the old one, Elfsborg. Using Sverige (or Sweden) as the country name and not "Konungariket Sverige". Always include the country in the location field. Most correct is of course to use Sverige but Sweden is also accepted. Do no use abbreviations like SWE, that will cause an error in the database that needs to be edited. Only add one set of location name to a location field. Do not add a second "name alternative" (such as a different spelling) or a translated location name to a location field, things like that goes into the biography section. Please make sure that location names are correctly spelled in the native language of the person/profile (using Å, å, Ä, ä, Ö, ö for example). Place names should be added from the smallest entity to the largest, examples: * Village/by (or farm name/gårdsnamn), parish/socken, county/län, country/land * Village/by, parish/socken, province/landskap, country/land * Parish/församling, town/city/stad, county/län, country/land Real location examples: * Lännäs, Närke, Sverige (parish/socken, province/landskap, country/land) * Lännäs, Örebro län, Sverige (parish/socken, county/län, country/land) * Lännäs, Örebro län (T), Sverige (parish/socken, county/län, country/land) * Örebro Nikolai, Örebro, Örebro län, Sverige (parish/församling, town/city/stad, county/län, country/land) Please always include the word "län" (län spelled with a lowercase L, not a capital i) if you are referring to a län/county in a location field. Since many län/county and landskap/province share the same names it can otherwise get confusing. If you use a county letter in location fields, it should be added as a complement to the county and not replacing it. Example: add "Grinstad, Älvsborgs län (P), Sverige", and NOT "Grinstad, (P), Sverige". Please note that the only separators allowed in a location field are: comma , dot . space, dash -, single quotation mark, ' pairs of parentheses ( ) or pairs of brackets [ ]. All other separators create an error in the database. For example, you can not write 1:st, S:t Paul or Kyrkbyn #94 without causing an error, you should write 1st, Sankt Paul and Kyrkbyn 94 instead. Do not include a street address, building name, church, hospital, etc., in the location field (unless it represents an administrative division, such as a hospital parish that kept birth and death books). This kind of information should be added to the biography. '''Please note that the suggested place names from FamilySearch's database may not always be correct for Sweden and you do not need to accept any of the place name suggestions'''. You can also turn these suggestions off. Check beneath the location field and you will see a small link that says "hide place name suggestions." If you click this, the automatic suggestions will not appear. As a general rule, entering almost any location better than no location. So if you only know the province/landskap or the country/land, please add it to the location field. For those of you who have uploaded a gedcom file, please make sure that the country is added to the locations fields of your profiles. It is a very common problem with genealogy software programs that they leave out the country when creating gedcoms. Also make sure that your location fields does not have any abbreviations, SWE instead of Sweden for example. Related WikiTree help pages; [[: Help:Location_Fields]]

It was mainly set up as a help for Nordic Data Doctors working on place name suggestions.

[[Category:Sweden Genealogy Resources]] [[Category:Sweden Project]] This page is intended as a guide for Wikitree members working on Swedish profiles. Any questions not answered by this page can be asked in the on [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g G2G forum] add the tag Nordic and/or Sweden. If you are a member of Nordic Project you can also ask questions in the [https://groups.google.com/?hl=en#!forum/wikitrees-nordic-project WikiTree Nordic Google Group]. The Sweden Project aims to make all Swedish profiles at WikiTree the very best they can be. That includes; * adding correct info to the data fields for names and locations * well sourced biographies * appropriate categories and templates * research notes (if required) * images and/or photos (if any can be found) We hope this document will help all who want to work on Swedish profiles. == Swedish Profile Standards == Each WikiTree profile consists of two main parts; Data Fields (name, dates, locations for example) and an "Edit Box" for the biography part. The Edit Box is also where you can add categories, templates, biography text, headings, and of course, your sources. (If you are new to WikiTree you might want to start checking out the info in this category: [[:Category: New Member How-To]]) === Data Fields === This is to give an overview of the data field section of a profile (name, dates, locations for example) and to give some general advice. It is never appropriate to use ALL CAPS in any data field so please don’t do that. For specific info on what should go into each field, please check info on [[:Space:Sweden Project - Name and Location Fields]] ==== Name fields ==== WikiTree says "use their conventions, not ours", meaning that the info should be added as per the custom of the profile person, in that specific time period. * When creating a profile, names should be spelled correctly in the native language of the person/profile to avoid duplicates (spellings using Å, å, Ä, ä, Ö, ö for example). * All given names should be entered in the Proper First Name field in the same order listed in the birth notice/document. * If you do not know which name is the preferred "call name" all given names at birth should be added to the "Preferred Name" field as well. * Do not use the Nickname field for descriptive placeholders (such as an occupation or location) unless that person would have been well known by such a description and it is documented in a source. * Do not assume that a Swedish married woman took her husband's surname when married. Until the 1900s the tradition for the woman was to keep the name she was born with. * A patronymic name would in Sweden be considered to be a last name and should '''not''' be added as middle name for "ordinary people". (Separate rules may adhere to royals and nobles.) Related help page(s): [[:Space:Swedish_names]], [[:Space:Sweden Project - Name and Location Fields]] ==== Prefix field ==== The '''prefix field should not be used on Swedish profiles at all''' (that means profiles that were born and died in Sweden). If a person was not born in Sweden, and a prefix was used in another country before immigrating to Sweden, then a prefix in another language could be OK to use (it would have to be in agreement with any guidelines of the other country). Related Help Page(s): [[:Help:Name_Fields#Prefix]] ==== Suffix field ==== The '''suffix field should not be used on Swedish profiles at all''' (profiles that were born and died in Sweden). The abbreviations for "d.y." and "d.ä." should be spelled out in full, "den yngre" (the younger) and "den äldre" (the older) in the nickname field instead. If a suffix was used in another country after emigrating from Sweden a suffix in another language could be OK to use (it would have to be in agreement with any guidelines of the new country). Related Help Page(s): [[:Help:Name_Fields#Suffix]] ==== Date fields ==== Dates should be as precise as possible. If you are unable to confirm an exact date then use an estimate and add an explanation in the biography (under the Research Notes heading). Also, add the template for estimated date {{Estimated Date}}} In Sweden, the current standard format for dates is year-month-day and dates can be added as such in the date fields (WT then “translates” 1691-12-26 into 26 Dec 1691). Related help pages: [[:Help:Date_Fields]], [[Help:Estimated Dates]] ==== Location fields ==== The locations fields should preferably not be left empty. If you are adding a profile without even knowing the place for birth or death, is it really necessary to add such a profile? Could the info you have temporarily be added to a family member until you have done more research? * Places of birth and death should be entered to the location data fields in the order of the smallest geographical unit to largest. Examples; ** Village/by, parish/socken, county/län, country/land ** Village/by, parish/socken, province/landskap, country/land ** Parish/församling, town/city/stad, county/län, country/land *** Real location examples: **** Lännäs, Närke, Sverige (parish/socken, province/landskap, country/land) **** Lännäs, Örebro län, Sverige (parish/socken, county/län, country/land) **** Lännäs, Örebro län (T), Sverige (parish/socken, county/län, country/land) **** Örebro Nikolai, Örebro, Örebro län, Sverige (parish/församling, town/city/stad, county/län, country/land) * Always include the name of parish/socken/församling if it is known. * Always include the word "län" if you are referring to the county/län, many provinces/landskap and counties/län share the same name but not necessarily cover the same area. * Spellings of the Swedish län, should you add an "s" at the end or not? There should be a "s" at the end of a county name for most counties, the exceptions are Blekinge, Kalmar, Uppsala and Örebro where you do not add it. Another special case is "Göteborgs och Bohus län" where the "s" hangs on to Göteborg. See also: [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Correct_Location_Names|Sweden Project - Correct Location Names]] * Please do not abbreviate the county/län name in the location fields. The county letter within parenthesis can be added to the location field to complement but should not replace the county name. Correct example: Grinstad, Älvsborgs län (P), Sverige * Swedish profiles should have either Sverige or Sweden as the country (where appropriate) in the birth, marriage and death locations. The country Sweden written in any other language will generate a DBE error. * Please remember that an estimated location is better than no location at all (you can use the “Unsure” radio button). Even a continent is by WikiTree considered better than nothing [[Help:Uncertain_Locations#Even_a_continent_is_better_than_nothing]]. * If you select "Swedish" in the Language data field (between Suffix and Birth Date), the automated place name suggestion from FamilySearch will appear in Swedish (if not chosen, it will default to your native language). Please note that the automated place names suggested from Family Search are not always correct. Related help page(s): [[:Space:Sweden Project - Name and Location Fields]], [[:Space:Sweden_Project_-_Correct_Location_Names]], [[:Help:Location_Fields]] ==== Radio Buttons ==== At the end of almost all data fields are some radio buttons. It is preferred that they should be used on all profiles. * For the '''name fields''', there are just two, certain or uncertain. Please check the certain button if you have provided a source for the name, otherwise, the uncertain button should be used. * Please use the radio button for '''No middle name''' if a person was both born and died in Sweden. Generally speaking, middle names are not used in Sweden at all until modern days and all given names at birth should be added to the Proper First Name field. If you find an exception from the general rule, be sure to add a source and, if needed, an explanation under Research Notes. * For '''date fields''' there are more choices. Please only use the "certain/exact" button if a reliable source has been provided that supports a specific date. ** The "before this date" and "after this date" buttons can be used when you need to estimate a date. ***For example, you have found a marriage date in 1760 but no info on a birth year. Depending on customs, let's say someone would have been at least 17 years old before marriage, then the estimated date for birth would be 1743 and you would use the "before this date" button. *** If it is the death year that is missing, they married in 1760, you would add 1760 to the data field and use "after this date" button. In both cases, you should also add the template for {{Estimated Date|Birth}}} or {{Estimated Date|Death}}} and an explanation for your reasoning under the "Research Notes" heading. * For the '''location fields''' used for birth and death, you usually use certain or uncertain. Please check the certain button if you have provided a source for the location, otherwise, the uncertain button should be used. * For living persons, who are well known to you (siblings, children), exceptions can be made. Please use the "certain/exact" button if you witnessed an event, or you could also choose to use the option "blank for extra privacy" in order for the information not to show. Related help page(s): [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Name_and_Location_Fields]], [[:Help:Uncertain]], [[Help:Date Fields#Date Status Options]], [[Help:Estimated Dates]] === Biography "Edit Text Box" === The portion of the profile where the biography text is added is also where you can add categories and templates. The different parts of this section (biography, research notes, sources) should be separated by different headings. ==== Categories ==== Location categories are by far the most used categories on Swedish profiles. They can be added for place of birth, marriage, death and for a location the person lived in for a long time. In Sweden, the parishes are the most common location categories Sweden Project has had the migration category structure approved and many categories have been set up already. There are also categories grouping cemeteries, genealogy resource pages, maintenance categories, and more. * A location category should be added to a profile once a source has been found to confirm the location. An exception from this is the Unknown Location category. * If a sourced location does not yet have a category, ask the [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_Categories_Team|Nordic Categories Team]] for help. They will find out if there possibly is a category with another spelling or help you create a new one. For more info on Swedish categories, see [[:Space:Sweden Project - Category Instructions]] ==== Templates and Stickers ==== Both templates and stickers are usually surrounded by {{ }} Please check [[:Space:Swedish_Templates]] where you can find more info on the templates and stickers used on Swedish profiles and where they should be added to someone's profile. If you think any sticker is missing from the list, please post a comment on that page and let us know. Related help page(s): [[Help:Stickers]], [[Help:Templates]] ==== Images / Photos ==== Several images can be added to a person's profile. They could be photographs, or scanned documents relating to the person (for example a birth or death certificate), or perhaps a letter that was written by the person. If you want an image included in the biography text it can be done by adding a template (see the help pages below). * Images should of course be relevant to the person being profiled. A portrait (head) of the person is preferred as the primary image. * Images must not infringe on copyright. If you add an online image, always add where the image came from (URL) and state what kind of permission to use it is given (Creative Commons License for example) * If you have a photograph of an ancestor from a private IRL collection or perhaps taken by yourself, you can add that to the image info. If you consider it free to use by other relatives who find it online you can mention that as well. * If you know the date of an image (what year a photograph was taken, what year a painting was painted) please add that to the image info. * Make sure the title of an image is relevant, do not just use “Image 1,” “Image 2,” etc. '''Examples''': * Be sparing with background images on profiles, especially those not gentle on the eyes. Related help page(s): [[:Help:Photos_FAQ]], [[Template:Image]], [[Space:Nordic_Project%2C_Image_resources_online|Nordic Project, Image resources online]] ==== Headings ==== Two “main headings” are required on a profile: Biography and Sources. The Research Notes heading is also one of the “main headings,” but it is added only when needed. These main headings always have two = on either side of the heading text, for example == Biography == and == Biografi == * You can also use subheadings as waymarkers for important events (add one more = on either side of the heading text to make a sub-heading). * Biographies can also be written in multiple languages, preferably starting with the native language of the person/profile. When multiple languages are used, feel free to translate biography and research notes headings, but please leave the sources heading in English. Examples; [[Ericsson-126|Astrid Lindgren]] * If the person/profile lived and died in Sweden and you are only writing the biography in Swedish you can use the Swedish language instead of English in all the headings. These are the agreed translations to use: ** Biography - Biografi ** Research Notes - Forskningsanteckningar ** Sources - Källor (please note that must still be added on the row below this heading Related pages: [[Help:Biographies#Text_Sections]], [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_BioCheck_App_Translations]] ===== Biography section ===== * The biography text should be relevant to the profile, preferably using inline sourcing to clearly identify the facts presented (see sources section below), written in the third person, and using the past tense. * Preferably, the biography should be written in chronological order. * Do not add speculation or your own personal views to the Biography. These can be added in the Research Notes section. * You can add a bit of interest to the narrative by either adding first-hand contemporary descriptions of actions or attributes or sourced ones (example: description in a draft registration), but do not speculate or embellish. * If a long descriptive text is required (examples: transcript of a will or a letter), it would be preferred if such a text is added to a free-space page and then linked to in the biography (with a brief summary in bio). * Biography text/info should never be copied straight off any other website (or another medium for that matter). If biography writing is not your strong suit, ask another Nordic Project member for help or add the maintenance category [[:Category:Sweden, Needs Biography]]. * Smaller amount of text (a couple of sentences, a paragraph) can be cited from another place online like Wikipedia. It should in these cases be clear that you are citing text and where from.''' Example profile needed''': * Biographies can be written in multiple languages (see headings section below), suggesting starting with the native language of the profile. Related help page(s): [[:Help:Biographies]], [[:Help:Editing_Tips]], [[:Help:Bio_Ideas]], [[:Help:Copying_Text]], [[:Help:Copying_from_Wikipedia]] ===== Research Notes ===== A Research Note section is a tool to be used to explain issues encountered in the research process. For example, this could include conflicting information, erroneous information published elsewhere, and to document where information has been searched for but not found. * Detaching relationships between profiles are definitely something that should always be explained, and signed, in a research note. * When using the {{Estimated Date}} template, please explain your reasoning as a research note. * You can sign and date any research notes with four tildes ~~~~ so that others can easily see who added the notes and when. Related help page(s): [[:Help:Research_Notes]] ===== Sources ===== Sourcing is important in order to establish family connections and to "prove" (or disprove) family lineages. Therefore, it is also important to record where the information came from and evaluate the certainty of any source. It is just as important to add a source in a way that others can actually find it, please check [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Source_Citation_Format|Sweden Project - Source Citation Format]] page for good examples. * '''Primary sources''' are written at the time of the event or period. Swedish church books are considered primary sources and are the preferred sources to use on ALL Swedish profiles. Even if these sources are generally reliable, there may be errors. You still need to evaluate the information contained in them, especially if one source should contradict another. * '''Secondary sources''' are written after the event or period has passed. Their trustworthiness should be evaluated before being used as a reliable source on a profile. They can also be added under the “See also:” section of the profile. * Online family trees are not considered reliable sources. If you have found a sourced online tree, investigate the sources and then add those to the profile instead of the family tree. Links to an online family tree can be placed in the “See also:” section of the profile, especially if no other sources have been added to the profile (that will give a researcher a point to start from). * Citations (inline references/citations/footnotes) and Sources should be formatted according to Wikitree guidelines. Inline citations are preferred. * Please include what kind of source is used if it is anything else than a church record, if you have used a book, magazine, newspaper, or any other kind of media, please add that to the source. Examples: ** "CD: Sveriges Dödbok 7, published by Sveriges Släktforskarförbund (The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies). ISBN: 978-91-88341-32-7" ** "Newspaper: Helsingborgs Tidning N:o 66 from June 3, 1880" (preferrably also add a link to where it can be found).

An online family tree can also be placed in the “See also:” section of the profile, especially if no other sources have been added to the profile (that will give a researcher a point to start from). ===== Acknowledgement heading ===== The acknowledgment heading is not a required heading and if the person who added a profile has not added any bio and/or sources it can be removed. However, any gedcom file name should be left since there is a project working on profiles added by specific gedcoms in the early days of WT.
