[[Category: Brunskog (S)]] == På svenska == === Läge === Brunskogs socken ligger i Värmland, ingick i Jösse härad, ingår sedan 1971 i Arvika kommun och motsvarar från 2016 Brunskogs distrikt. Boda socken är granne i sydöst och Mangskog socken är granne åt norr. === Historik === Brunskog socken hade en kyrka som troligen fanns där sedan slutet på 1300-talet. Socknen var ursprungligen ett annex till Stavnäs pastorat, men avståndet till de mest avlägsna bönderna ledde till att de begärde och fick tillstånd till en egen kyrka 1616, som byggdes på Boda hemmans mark. 1621 anhöll bönderna också till regeringen att få en egen präst. Drottning Kristina beviljade därför ett nytt pastorat, Brunskog, som utgjordes av de två socknarna Brunskog och Boda , samt ett kapell, Mangskog. Herr [[Wermius-1 | Påfwel Nilsson Wermius]], Capellan i Stavnäs, blev då den första kyrkoherden i Brunskog. 1674 byggdes en ny kyrka i Boda av sten då den gamla hade förfallit och var för liten. 1705 fick bönderna i norra delen tillåtelse att bygga en ny kyrka i Grytteud och därmed blev Brunskog uppdelat i tre församlingar, Brunskog, Boda och den sista fick namnet Mangskog. Präster i socknarna är väl beskrivna i 'Karlstads stifts herdaminnen' Johan Hammarin, Carlstads stifts herdaminne, del 2, s. 121, Kungl.

Since 1971 it is part of Arvika municipality and from 2016 is part of Brunskog church district. The Boda parish is neighbour to SE and Mangskog parish is neighbour to North. === History === Brunskog parish had a church which was probably from the end of the 1300s. The parish was originally an Annex to Stavnäs 'pastorat' (a district that may have more than one parish), but the distance to the most distant farmers in the parish led them to ask for their own church 1616. They got their approval and the new church was built on land belonging to farmers in Boda. 1621 the farmers also asked the government for their own priest. Queen Kristina then authorized a new 'pastorat', Brunskog, constituted of the parishes Brunskog and Boda plus the chapel in Mangskog. Herr [[Wermius-1 | Påfwel Nilsson Wermius]], then 'Capellan' in Stavnäs, became the first vicar in Brunskog. 1674 a new church was built in Boda of stone as the old one of wood was dilapidated and too small. 1705 the farmers in the north part of the parish got permission to build a new church in Grytterud and then Brunskog was divided into three parishes, Brunskog, Boda and the last one was given the Mangskog.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] *'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION''' *[[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish Names]] ==What are those strange "first names"?== One of the most confusing name types in Sweden is the prefixed farm names used in Dalarna (Kopparberg County), like '''[[Hansson-1262|Håman Olof Hansson]]'''. Why wasn't he Olof Hansson Håman, like a normal Swede?In fact, his great-grandson, [[Hansson-2373|Hans Hansson]], who worked as a bricklayer in Stockholm from 1886 to 1908, had his name converted to Hans Hansson Håman down in the big city. And was '''[[Andersson-5235|Elin Hans Andersson]]''' a boy or a girl?He was a boy, Hans Andersson, living in a farm still carrying the name of a matriarch named Elin a few generations earlier. *'''Håman''' and '''Elin''' in these examples are ''gårdsnamn'' (farm names), serving as a sort of family name, but placed before the given name of the individuals. *These farm names will be found in most [[:Category: Parishes, Dalarna|parishes in Dalarna]]. It is understandable that people in Dalarna had a need for distinguishing names in addition to their [[Space:Given_names_in_Sweden|given name]] and [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|patronymic]], since in this area of Sweden there seems to be an even smaller selection of given names in use than further south. You soon get too many persons of a similar age in the same parish - or even the same village - with the same name: Jon Olofsson, Olof Jonsson, Jon Jonsson, Olof Olofsson, Hans Olofsson, Hans Hansson and so on. There were various types of bynames and nicknames used for distinction in old rural Sweden. Farm names as "family names" were common in some parts (Gotland and Skåne) - but nowhere but Dalarna was the farm name placed first. One would need a much deeper understanding of the local dialect and its history to understand how and why this came about. We know that ''Dalkarlar'' historically have valued their independence and originality highly: see the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalecarlian_rebellions Dalecarlian rebellions] under Gustav Vasa. ==They don't fit well in databases== The prefixed farm names fit badly into the name fields of a database - not just WikiTree - the The Swedish Tax Agency and Swedish genealogy softwares also have problems with it. Actually, the Authorities have had problems with farm names since long before computers. There are indications that these names were in use long before the clergy accepted them as appropriate for the church records''Om gårds- och soldatnamn i Dalarna'' Olle Hansson and Karin Jegelius 2003 [http://www.jegelius.se/gardsnamn.html at jegelius.se]''The Farm Names of Dalarna'' by Elisabeth Thorsell [http://www.etgenealogy.se/farmname.htm at etgenealogy.se] The pressure towards standardizing them into "proper" surnames was strong around the previous turn of century, when rules for surnames in Sweden were (at long last) formulated into laws - particularly for those who left their native area. It is only with the [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|Name Law]] of 2016 that their use has been fully integrated. ===What to do in WikiTree=== Since a farm name (usually) is a name for the whole family in a certain farm, it would seem logical to place it last, as surnames are ordinarily placed. For Norway, where farm names '''are''' placed last, the Other Last Names field should be used. * see [[Space:Norway_Project_Naming_Conventions|Norway Naming Conventions]] This would also be the proper place for farm names from Gotland or Skåne - where farm names placed after given name and patronymic where used for identifying a person. It's just that the people of Dalarna have defended their practice of putting the farm name '''first''' for so long and with so much obstinacy, that it would be insulting to their memory (and presentday name carriers) to cave in and put it in as a surname or Other Name. It is '''not''' apropriate to use the prefix field for this, so in order to "follow their conventions" as we have promised to do, we are left with the option of putting the farm name together with the given name in the '''First Name''' field. *we just have to put up with the validation warning about more than one name in this field, and click through *and when the next Suggestions Report has been run we probably will have a Unique Name warning to mark ar False Error. ==Examples== The origins of farm names are various. Some have started as soldier names, some refer to an occupation or a characteristic, some are the given name of an individual, some derive from a combination of a given name and a patronymic. Some refer to another village in the parish, where a current farm owner was born. What they all have in common is that they linger on for generations after the person who first inspired the name. ===Dalarna farm names found as "Unique names"=== Found in the lists for [[Space:DBE_511|DBE #511]] and marked as False Error.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] ==Patronymics== The basic mode for naming among the common folk of Sweden from medieval times and up at least to the 19th century was to refer to people by their given name and whose son or daughter they were - [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|the system of patronymics]], where last names are gendered and change from generation to generation. ==Frozen patronymics== Eventually - with urbanization and industrialization - more and more families adopted surnames, often of the nature related kind, like the ubiquitous [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/lindstr%C3%B6m Lindström] or the place name related kind, like [[Ersson-434|Anders Ersson]] from Väster Färnebo adopting the name Fernqvist. Finally, under pressure from the authorities, families converted their patronymics into -sson surnames, shared (ideally) by the whole family. We may call these -sson names '''frozen patronymics''', because they no longer changed with the generations or the gender. For most people this happened some time between 1880 and 1920. If a worker family "went to town" it could happen earlier. For craftsmen, merchants and other families on an upward move on the social ladder a frozen patronymic could be adopted even earlier. ==Early adopters - a few case studies== Some illustrations of who the early adopters were. ===The '''Petersohn''' line from Livonia=== A military family descended from [[Petersohn-77|Peter Petersohn]], born in Riga in 1683. Liutenant and later ''ryttmästare'' at ''Westgöta kavalleriregemente''. Rumours of descent from Livonian nobility not confirmed by [[Elgenstierna-1|Elgenstierna]]. However, the family used Petersohn as an inheritable surname for the following generations. * See: [[Space:Slägten_Petersohn|''Slägten Petersohn - Några Anteckningar'']] - By Gustaf Elgenstierna - Bärgslags-Kurirens Tryckeri, Nora 1896 ===The hat makers '''Adamsson'''=== Hat maker [[Pettersson-674| Adam Melchior Pettersson]] (1702-1770) was born and learned his trade in Germany. He came to the town of Ystad in the south of Sweden - and unlike so many other craftsmen of German origin who came to Sweden he did not have a family name in his luggage. Adam had several sons. [[Adamsson-17|Johan Peter Adamsson]] (1743-1797) and [[Adamsson-29|Andreas Adamsson]] (1745-) are the two that can be found in WikiTree. [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Pettersson-Descendants-674 The descendant list of Adam Melchior Pettersson] gives a good overview of this branch. Johan Peter Adamsson and Andreas Adamsson both lived in the town of Simrishamn, one a dyer, the other a hat maker. All their children, born between 1774 and 1776, used Adamsson as a surname, brothers and sisters alike. The children of the one grandson that is followed up also use Adamsson as a family name. There were more members of the Adamsson hat maker dynasty in other towns around southern Sweden, as described in [http://www.shsr.se/slakter/adamsson/ this article by Gun Bergenfelz]. It is easy to see how the family name, Adamsson, served as a trademark. ''Under the patronymic system the sons of Johan Peter would have been Johansson (or Petersson) and the daughters would have been Johansdotter. The sons of Andreas would have been Andreasson and his daughters Andreasdotter. The continuity would have been rapidly lost, for such a mobile family.'' ==='''Håkansson''' of Kalmar - from croft to town council=== [[Håkansson-535|Olof Håkansson]] (1760-1848) was a crofter's son in Döderhult who became a merchant and council man in Kalmar town. His father's name was Håkan Olofsson, so his name originated as a patronymic, but when Olof became a successful citizen of Kalmar, he started treating his name as a surname. All his children, sons and daughters had the surname Håkansson from birth. The eldest, [[Håkansson-483|Carolina Elisabeth]] was married to a von Sydow, and entered into WikiTree because of that relationship. She was tagged as [[Space:DBE_912|an error 912]] (Swedish patronym SSON for female) by the error checker. However, in her case the -sson name was not an error, but an early example of a patronymic frozen into a surname. Because of their upward mobility, Carolina Elisabeth and her [[Håkansson-536|(half)sister]] also were earlier than women of the common folk in using their husbands' surname as a married name. ===The '''Clason''' dynasty - financiers and foundry owners=== [[Clason-25|Johan Clason]] (1667-1747) was the founding father of a dynasty of financiers and foundry owners. He was the son of a foundry master by name Clas. His patronymic Clason became the family name for his descendants, so this family is a very early example of frozen patronymics. === Hauptman Assarsson of Öland === The origins of [[Assarsson-19|Lars Assarsson]] (-1684) have maybe been lost to history, but probably is his surname a patronymic name after a father named Assar or Asser. His proficiency within Legal, Financial and Administrative Services meant that he eventually became hauptman (county governor) on Öland and the castle of Borgholm to administer Öland on behalf of queen [[Vasa-13|Kristina]]. His last name was surely well known on Öland, Kalmar and even high ranked people in Stockholm knew of him like [[Wrangel-34|Carl Gustaf Wrangel]] and king [[Pfalz-Zweibrücken-3|Karl X Gustav]]. This might have been the reason why his children got the patronymic name of Lars Assarsson frozen. All his sons had the surname Assarsson as a frozen patronymic instead of using Larsson and his daughters were named Asser. Most of his grandchildren, if not all, both male and female, used the name Assarsson and not their respective standard patronymic name. Assarsson was also the most common surname in the third generation for the grandsons after Lars Assarsson, but exceptions exist. Some great-granddaughter were again named Asser.

[[Category: Parish homonyms in Sweden]] '''Ed''' in Swedish place names usually refers to an isthmus. The word could also refer to a backwater, but important settlements at an early time would be more likely to be strategically placed on an isthmus. In any case, there are many locations in Sweden named '''Ed''' or some variant - including a number of parishes. There are three parishes named '''Ed''' plain and simple: * [[:Category: Ed (AB)|Ed (AB)]], parish in the Uppland part of Stockholm county * [[:Category: Ed (S)|Ed (S)]], parish in Värmland * [[:Category: Ed (Y)|Ed (Y)]], parish in Ångermanland, Västernorrland county Then we have: *[[:Category:Dals-Ed_(P)|Dals-Ed]] in Dalsland and Älvsborg County *[[:Category: Västra Ed (H)|Västra Ed]] in Småland, Kalmar County *[[:Category: Östra Ed (H)|Östra Ed]] in Småland, Kalmar County *[[:Category:Eda_(S)|Eda]] in Värmland There will also be other types of locations (villages or farms) with Ed-names, so unless you are sure of the parish and the part of Sweden it can be a bit tricky finding the right place.

---- Ericsberg är ett slott beläget 13 kilometer öster om Katrineholm i Stora Malms socken i Katrineholms kommun i Södermanland. Godset är ett fideikommissbolag inom släkten Bonde. "Slottet som från en höjd behärskar hela den omgifvande nejden, började byggas af riksrådet frih. Erik Karlsson Gyllenstierna (d. 1657), fullbordades af hans maka, fru Beata von Yxkull, samt tillbyggdes med flyglar och förskönades af sonen, riksrådet och öfverståthållaren, grefve Kr. Gyllenstierna." [http://runeberg.org/nfbg/0422.html Nordisk familjebok 1907] Slottet är i karolinsk stil i tre våningar och består av ett större mittparti och fyra därmed sammanhängande flyglar. Det omges av en stor vacker park. Det sägs varit Södermanlands största gods och tillika ett av de betydligaste i hela Sverige. Ägare:
Första gången gården förekommer i jordeböckerna är vid 1500-talets början, då den kallas Pinnatorp. Dess förste med säkerhet kände ägare var väpnaren Knut Nilsson i Boosgård och Finnekumla i Västergötland. Denne sålde gården år 1508 till Anna Karlsdotter av Vinstorpasläkten och från henne gick den till släkten Gyllenstierna. Namnet Ericsberg fick den i mitten av 1600-talet av dåvarande ägaren, riksrådet friherre Eric Gyllenstierna af Ulaborg. Denne var gift med Beata von Yxkull, mera känd under namnet Pinntorpafrun, som på grund av sina enligt sägnen mindre goda egenskaper tidigare ansetts som en svår bondeplågare, men som av en senare tids forskning blivit helt rehabiliterad. Senare kom Ericsberg till släkten Bonde af Björnö. Maria Gustava Gyllenstierna, som var änka efter kungliga rådet greve Carl Bonde af Björnö, överlät år 1734 gården till släkten Hildebrand. Ryttmästaren David Henrik Hildebrand, som ägde gården från 1739, och dennes andra hustru Agneta Sofia Schönström stiftade 1778 av Ericsberg och Forssjö bruk samt en del andra gårdar ett fideikommiss för sonen David Gotthard Hildebrand. Då denne emellertid 1808 avled ogift, tillföll fideikommisset hans ende kvarlevande systerson överstekammarjunkaren friherre Carl Bonde. Fideikommisset har sedan dess gått från far till son inom denna släkt tills det avvecklades när den siste fideikommissarien [[Bonde-97 |Carl Jedvard Carlsson Bonde]] avlidit 1988.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] *[[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] Up to the late 19th century the dominant mode of Last Names for the common folk in Sweden was the [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|patronymic naming system]], resulting in all those -son and -dotter names. But there were also classes of people using family names early on - or surnames '''looking like''' family names, as in the case of the soldier names. This page aims to provide an overview with links to pages providing further information on the various types of name. '''It is worth noting that Swedish women did not take married names until very late.''' ==The nobility== Quite naturally, the first families to adopt inheritable family names in Sweden were the nobility. * [[Space:Swedish_nobility_and_their_names|About Swedish nobility and their names]] ==The early immigrants== Another category of people who had family names at an early time were craftsmen, immigrated from the continent, where family names were in use (demanded by law) much earlier than in Sweden. The main part of the craftsmen in question were smiths and other specialists, enrolled to the iron and copper industry from the end of the 16th century and on. They came from Germany, like the Stockhaus family or from France and Belgium like the "Walloons". * [[:Category:Smedsläkt_Stockhaus|Category:Smedsläkt_Stockhaus]] * [[:Category:Walloons_in_Sweden|Walloons in Sweden, category]], [[Space:Walloons in Sweden|Walloons in Sweden, space page]] ==The clerics== Clergymen in the 1600s usually adopted - or were known by a Latinized surname, which often referred to their birthplace - or else to some other characteristic, like [[Engelberti-1|Elaus Terserus]] who received his appellation because he had been late for lectures three times. (From the beginning these additional names were not used as inheritable surnames.) There is probably still a lot of profiles from clerical families with "back-projected" surnames in WikiTree, due to early imports.) ==The burgess== The burgess - the merchants, craftsmen and other inhabitants of the [[:Category: Towns, Sweden|chartered towns]] were also early adopters of inheritable family names. ===Buresläkten (the Bure family)=== Buresläkten is a special case of a non-noble but powerful and wealthy family with a family name that pre-dates towns in Norrland, where they have their roots. * [[Space:Buresläkten|Buresläkten, space page]] * [[:Category: Buresläkten|Buresläkten, category]] ==Soldier names== Soldier names were tied to the allotment system for enrolling soldiers, first introduced by Gustav II Adolf and then improved by Karl XI in the 1680s. The principle was that a soldier surname was attached to each numbered position in the company, and used by a sequence of unrelated soldiers serving in that position. * [[Space:Swedish_soldier_names|Swedish soldier names]] Only at a late stage, let's say the second half of the 19th century when the allotment system was being phased out, soldier names were transitioned into family names at a larger scale. The initiative for adopting your father's soldier name as your own family name was presumably individual - this was before there was a [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|name law]] in Sweden. ==Farm names== The prefixed farm names used in Dalarna are a very special case. *[[Space:Dalarna_Farm_Names|Dalarna farm names - placed before the given name]] ==Industrialization and urbanization== Smiths and charcoal makers of Swedish origin often used inheritable family names at a fairly early time, without being either town dwellers or industrial workers. But as the relatively small-scale iron production in the bergsman foundries was out-competed by capitalist-owned factories, workers had to become more mobile. The same process occurred as forestry became an increasingly industrialized process. This affected many country folks, who had previously been using patronymics and nothing else. Adopting a family name may have been a way to stay connected, and hold on to a unique family identity when you left the home village. Be that as it may, through the 19th century an increasing number of Swedish families adopted family names. ==19th century emigration== The emigration waves of the 19th century probably contributed strongly to the process of abandoning patronymics in favour of inheritable family names. When Swedish people immigrated to North America, they had to adopt a family name, either based on a patronym or on a more or less recently adopted surname. The Swedish surname was almost always more or less transformed in America (for language reasons). * [[Space:Swedish_names_becoming_American_names|Swedish names becoming American Names]] It is very likely that some of this reflected back on naming practices in Sweden. Many a letter was written back and forth. And some young people left Sweden as Nilsson and came back with dollars and the surname Nelson. ==Patronymics into family names== One way to adopt a family name was to simply start using a patronymic name like Andersson for the whole family, father, sons and daughters. Today almost a third of all Swedes have a surname ending in -son. * [http://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/befolkning/amnesovergripande-statistik/namnstatistik/pong/tabell-och-diagram/samtliga-folkbokforda--efternamn-topplistor/efternamn-topp-100/ The top 100 surnames in Sweden 2017] National Bureau of Statistics, SCB * [http://www.scb.se/Grupp/valfard/BE0801_2005K04_TI_10_A05ST0504.pdf Var tredje svensk har ett sonnamn] article by Hans Gidebäck, SCB in ''Välfärd Nr 4 2005'' ([[Ekeblad-7|Ekeblad-7]] 05:02, 11 April 2018 (EDT)) * [[Space:Early_frozen_patronymics_Sweden|Early frozen patronymics]] space page * [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategori:Sonnamn Wikipedia category Sonnamn] The sixteen most common surnames on the 2017 list from SCB are -son names (with spelling variants).

[[Category: The Swedish National Archives]] [[Category: Sweden Genealogy Resources]] =Swedish Census Search= ''Folkräkningar'' is a very useful tool for finding people in Sweden in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 - these are the fully indexed censuses. The index for 1860 only covers Jämtland county. The index for 1870 covers Västerbotten and Norrbotten. The census for 1930 is in the process of being indexed. * Visit [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?sprak=Engelska&returnURL=https://sok.riksarkivet.se/folkrakningar Folkräkningar] - link goes to English version. ''Folkräkningar'' is a secondary source, because the lists are excerpts from the household records kept in the parishes and sent in every ten years to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Information from the continuosly kept household records (primary source) was copied by hand into the special forms for the purpose. Once you have found the people you are looking for, you should follow the leads to consult the records from the parish. ''(more about that later)'' {{Image|file=Folkrakningar_-_Swedish_Census_Search.jpg |size=450 |caption=Folkräkningar first page }} You will notice that while choosing English gives you the framework of the site in English, all the informational content is in untranslated Swedish. The top tabs and the "Select extended search" menu are basically paths to other search types. The basic '''Census''' search form should be easy to understand, and the link to '''Search tips''' gives information in English about the truncations and wildcards you can use. ==A basic search== The search form comes with all the census years checked. However, it is usually best to start your search with all years but one unchecked. Then, of course, it depends on what you already know about the person. {{Image|file=Folkrakningar_-_Swedish_Census_Search-1.jpg |size=600 |caption=Search for Johanna Magnusdotter, born 1851 }} A search for Johanna Magnusdotter, born in 1851, returns 11 hits from 7 different counties, presented in a list with links to further information about each Johanna. Notably, you get to see the whole household: if there is a husband and children, or if she is unmarried and serving in a family. If you are looking for a married couple that emigrated from Sweden together, but you have no idea from which area they came, the name combination of husband and wife may be enough to tell you which is the right Johanna. If you know that Johanna lived in Skaraborg county in 1880 and choose Skaraborg in the County menu the number of hits to check up on is reduced to two. If you know that she was born in Tengene parish there is just a single hit. The more you know about Johanna, the easier it will be to find her. Now, Johanna Magnusdotter is a moderately unusual name. If we search for Anna Andersdotter, born 1851 in the 1880 census we get 454 hits, which is a bit much to check up on - for Anna Andersdotter you even get two hits in a small parish like Tengene. So with the very common names it will be hard to find the right person without more detailed information like the birth parish and/or the home parish, or the name of a partner. On the other hand, with the more uncommon names you may get lucky even if you are not sure of the birth year, but have to enter a range of years like 1850-1852. ===The information you get=== The information you get in the 1880 census for Johanna Magnusdotter, born in Tengene in 1851 is: :'''Magnusdotter, Johanna''' :Census 1880 :'''Name''': Magnusdotter, Johanna :'''Home parish''': Flo <--- THIS parish :'''Place of residence''': Svensgård <--- and THIS village/farm is where you will find her in 1880. :'''Deanery''': Wäne :'''County''': Skaraborg :'''Birth year''': 1851 :'''Birth parish''': Tengene Skaraborgs län <--- THIS is where her birth record should be :'''Marital status''': ''Gift'' (married) :'''Gender''': ''Kvinna'' (woman) :'''Family status''': h. (=''hustru'' =wife) :'''Family status code''': ''Mor/fru'' (mother/wife) :'''Family no''': 1 :'''Page''': 24 - refers to the page in the census :'''Row''': 37 - refers to the row on that page :'''Created by''': Riksarkivet SVAR-Svensk arkivinformation :'''About the household: Persons in the household''' :'''Fam. no 1''' :''Thun, Fredrik'', b. 1850 in Flo Skaraborgs län, ''Arbetskarl'' (workman) :Magnusdotter, Johanna, b. 1851 in Tengene Skaraborgs län :''Alma Teresia'', b. 1876 in Flo Skaraborgs län :''Johan Alfred'', b. 1880 in Flo Skaraborgs län There is usually a digitized image of the list, which ''may'' be useful if you suspect a mistranscription (rare, but it happens). ===What to do with it=== Once you have discovered that there is only one Johanna Magnusdotter born in Tengene in 1851, one thing you can do is extend the search to 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910, to follow her along, very roughly. This is also good when you have a small number of suspects for somebody who emigrated in 1882 - if they appear in the later censuses, it is obviously not the right person. But what you want to do is to look up her birth record from the info about year and parish, and to look up the family in the household record that covers 1880. The birth record will be the source for her parents and full birth date. The household record will usually give further detail about the family. Particularly, before you can be sure that you have found the correct emigrant, you should make sure that the person really did emigrate; it will be duly noted in the household record. * A shortcut for birth-marriage-death events 1860-1947 is [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?sprak=Engelska&returnURL=https://sok.riksarkivet.se/scb-fodda-vigda-doda SCB births, marriages, deaths] for this period. * Profile for [[Magnusdotter-282|Johanna Magnusdotter]] (under construction) ==Searching for a child== You may have noticed that children living with their parents are in the database without a surname. So if you are looking for the birth and family of Carl Ivar Thune, born 11 July 1887 in Skaraborgs Lan, Sweden, living in Spokane in 1942,"United States World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVJT-FCGM : 13 October 2017), Carl Ivar Thune, 1942; citing NARA microfilm publication M1936, M1937, M1939, M1951, M1962, M1964, M1986, M2090, and M2097 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.). you will not find him in ''Folkräkningar'' with the surname Thune, or Tun or any variant. To find children, you need to open the "More Options" part of the search form and enter the surname for a parent. Particularly in the case of emigrants you also will do well to use some asterisks to catch spelling variants. Using *arl to catch both Carl and Karl is always wise (spellings did vary from census to census). For Carl Ivar Thune a search for '''*arl Ivar''', born '''1887''' with Father's last name '''t*un*''' does the trick: he is found in the censuses for 1890 and 1900, but not in 1910. You get no other hits, and you can see that he is resident in Skaraborgs län. (He is the son of our example, Johanna Magnusdotter and he did emigrate). == Sources ==

[[Category:Sweden_Genealogy_Resources]] GID is the GENLINE id used for sources in Swedish church books. Today (2017) those GIDs are nearly useless and need to be complemented with better source citations. From Ancestry: ::''Each image in the Sweden Parish Records database has a unique ID number called the Genline ID number (GID). The GID number consists of three groups of numbers delimited by periods. The first group of numbers represents the parish ID, the second group the sequence ID number, and the third group the image number in the sequence. For example: 1119.23.23600. You can use a GID number to search for a specific image. When viewing an image, the GID number will be displayed in the index section at the bottom of the image viewer. The GID number will also be listed on the record page. This is how you can find the book a GID number refers to. Ancestry's search page for Swedish church records [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2225 Sweden, Church Records, 1451-1943] provides a chance to find out what "GID 520.4.49200" actually refers to. Add the GID number to the Keyword field (just the number 520.4.49200, not including GID). By clicking the link "View Record" you can find out the page number as well. Example for 520.4.49200 gives: ::COUNTY: Värmland ::PARISH: Rämen ::COUNTRY: Sweden ::RECORD TYPE: Inflyttning ::YEAR RANGE: 1806 - 1844 ::GID NUMBER: 520.4.49200 ::VOLUME: B:2 ::ROLL/FICHE NUMBER: XY-567 ::PAGE NUMBER: 32 {{Image|file=GID.png |caption=GID Ancestry |size=700px}} By using this information, the actual church book can now be found in either Riksarkivet or Arkiv Digital since we know the information about parish, what book and page number.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] Here we are not going to try to produce a listing of even the most common given names. We just aim to explain som features of Swedish given names that may be puzzling. *[[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] =Given names in Sweden= At the website for [[Space:Rötter_by_The_Federation_of_Swedish_Genealogical_Societies|The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies]], '''''Rötter''''', there is a section with database of Swedish given names. (''Mansnamn''=male names; ''Kvinnonamn''=female names) * [https://www.rotter.se/faktabanken/personnamn/ ''Så stavar du namnet''] (How you spell the name) Listings of given names current in Sweden will give you an idea of what can be a name (spellings were a lot more variable in the olden days, though) * [http://www.svenskaakademien.se/svenska-akademien/almanackan/akademialmanackan/namnlista Svenska Akademins namnlista] * [https://klendr.se/namnsdagar Names currently in the Swedish almanac] at klendr.se (we don't promise that the site will be around forever) [[Ekeblad-7|Ekeblad-7]] 13:03, 18 April 2018 (UTC) It is interesting to note that most of the top ten names in Sweden today were very common in the olden days as well. The most popular baby names are a different matter. * [http://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/sverige-i-siffror/namnsok/ Name statistics at SCB] ==Multiple forms== For many of the common given names used by common folk in old Sweden there are regional variants, like '''Karna''' in Skåne (and the south in general) for the form of '''Katarina''' that in the rest of Sweden appears as '''Karin'''. However, the way that multiple forms of the same name were used more or less interchangeably for the same person is more intriguing. For example, the name '''[https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristina Kristina]''' or '''Christina''' has a common variant '''Kerstin''' (or Chierstin, or any number of spellings) and a short nickname-like form '''Stina'''. In modern times these names have developed into fixed, independent, given names. In older times, this was not so. One woman may appear in the records with all these variants, at different times. One would think that Christina is the most formal name, with Kerstin being used in everyday life and Stina being used as a casual nickname. However, this is not necessarily so. A woman may be in the birth/baptism book with any of these names and then in the death burial record with any of the other variants - having perhaps been in the household records in the intervening time by the third variant. There is no reliable pattern, except, perhaps, in very local circumstances. Another female name with three very common variants is Catharina - Karin - Kajsa. For male names you may get Petter, Per, and Pelle out of the Latin form Petrus, any of which could also be the name at baptism. From Olof we get Olle and perhaps Olaus. From Johannes we get Johan and Jan. Although Johannes and Jonas are different names, their derivative forms sometimes overlap, so that Jon and Jan both may be forms of Johan. One would like to think that Johan=Jan and Jonas=Jon, but this is not always the case, since particularly in the early days Johan could well be in the books as Joen or Jon (Jonas was very uncommon at that time). This variability also affects the [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|patronymic last names]], so that the same woman may appear in the books as '''Christina Johansdotter''' and '''Stina Jansdotter'''. ===What to do=== The most important thing concerning the multiple forms of given names used in olden Sweden is: * '''Don't be surprised''' * Don't think it's a different person because the name looks different - you will have to establish the sameness by studying the sources, of course, since there are frequently several persons with the same name combination in a parish. * There are name fields enough in WikiTree for three different name forms (although not for all possible spellings, use the biography for that if you wish). * So, use the sources for distributing Christina/Kerstin/Stina into Proper First Name, Preferred Name and Other Nicknames. * Do your best. Use common sense - '''don't put all the variants into the same field.''' * Oh, and you can always ask in G2G with the tag {{Tag Link|SWEDEN}} - that goes for everything in these pages ==A myriad spellings== Spelling of names in the old records is extremely variable - the idea of standardized spellings did not really take root until in the 19th century. Since Sweden was Lutheran, the common folk were expected to be able to read the bible. However, few were also able to write. The idea that people themselves would have a preferred spelling of their name was alien - they just had no say. The church records were kept by the vicar, the ''sacellanus'' or the sexton, who were, of course, literate - but nevertheless spelled the same name for the same person differently at different times. With the introduction of compulsory schooling for the whole people in 1842 and the subsequent growth in general literacy, the spelling of names started being of importance to the carriers of the name towards the end of the 19th century. This was satirized by August Bondesson in [https://litteraturbanken.se/forfattare/BondesonA/titlar/SkollarareJohnChronschoughsmemoarer/sida/1/etext Skollärare John Chronschoughs memoarer] (1897). In the 20th century and today people tend to be adamant about the correct spelling of their name - and many strive for originality. The [https://www.rotter.se/faktabanken/personnamn/bakgrund-namnlistan introduction] to ''Så stavar du namnet'' explains this variability of spellings in older times, and expresses the standpoint taken by The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies '''in favour of a standardization of names''' to be used in the databases they keep and share. This is the opposite tack to the WikiTree policy of "using their conventions, not ours." Since data from DISBYT and MinSläkt have made their way into the GEDCOM world of Internet Genealogy since the 1990s, there are a lot of Swedish profiles with standardized names already imported into WikiTree. You will have to be aware of this when you enter new profiles. ==Double names== For a very long time, people - that is, the common folk - in Sweden were only baptized with a single name, drawn from a fairly limited repertoire for males and females. Towards the end of the 18th century people started combining two given names for a child at baptism, chosen from the old stores of common names (mix and match). The two names were mostly used together, as a double first name. This is when we get all the women by name '''Anna Cajsa''', '''Brita Stina''', '''Greta Lisa''' and '''Maja Lena''' and the men by name '''Carl Gustav''', '''Lars Erik''', '''Nils Johan''' and '''Per Anders''', pronounced as Annacajsa, Britastina, Gretalisa, Majalena, Carlgustav, Larserik, Nilsjohan and Peranders. (Please do not write them like this ;-) The start of this practice can be quite variable, even between neighbouring parishes. There were probably many factors involved, like the degree of influence from nearby towns (towns were, naturally, at the forefront) and the more or less positive attitude of the vicar towards this newfangled fashion. Of course, many children were still only given a single name. Double names, where people are actually called by their two given names in combination are still very common in Sweden. Nowadays people make a lot of fuss about whether they use a hyphen or not for their double call-name. ===WikiTree name fields=== The basic rule for Swedish given names is to put them ALL in the Proper First Name Field and nothing in the Middle Name field, remembering to check the radio button for "no middle name". The system warning about "more than one name in the given name field" can be safely ignored - just click SAVE ANYWAY. If you are working mainly on Swedish profiles you can turn this warning off permanently in the settings of your account, under '''Miscellaneous settings'''. ==Middle Names ?== There are two meanings of "middle name" in Swedish. In the presentday vernacular ''mellannamn'' refers to the (second) given name that we are more or less never addressed by - our non-preferred name(s). ''Then there is '''a legal meaning''', referring not to a given name but to a '''surname'''. This type of "middle name" was introduced in [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|the name law of 1963]], when you could no longer create new double surnames like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilie_Flygare-Carl%C3%A9n Flygare-Carlén] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Peterson-Berger Peterson-Berger], so if you wanted to keep your birth surname when you married, you had to have one of the surnames as the true surname and the other as an extra first-name - '''this''' was called a middle name. This turned out to be impractical in many ways, and was changed in the name law of 2017: there will be no more middle names of that kind, but now you can, again, have double surnames (two-part). So this type of middle name in Sweden was a temporary phenomenon from 1963, and is '''being phased out''' from 2017.'' The "middle names" that are non-preferred given names are a relatively modern phenomenon in Sweden. They may be viewed as the next step in the development from single given names, to double names based on the "good old names" and on to more and fancier names, copied from the upper classes or inspired by popular literature. Again, this practice started at the top of the social scale and worked its way down. The daughters of [[Schottenius-3|Jakob Niklas Schottenius]], born 1832 to 1842 have names like Emma Fredrica Nicolina, Jenny Leontina Alfonsina and Betty Constantia Theresia. Now, Schottenius was a craftsman in Stockholm, and the grandson of a vicar, but there were industrial workers up north giving their children similar names. * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Schottenius-Descendants-3 Descendants of Jakob Niklas Schottenius] With three or more names it is not very likely that people used all their names as their preferred name - but often we do not know which one they used. They could go by the first of their given names or by one (or two) of the others. If we are very lucky people appear somewhere in the sources under their preferred name, or with the preferred name marked in some way. ===What to do=== The simplest way to handle given names in all time periods for Sweden is to put ALL the given names in the field for Proper First Name and the call name, if you know it, in the Preferred Name field. If the profile is fairly modern and there IS a "middle name" in the middle position nobody will object if you put it in the Middle Name field. ==Sources and resources== * At the website for The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies, '''''Rötter''''', there is a section with database of Swedish given names.

[[Category: Sweden, Royalty]] [[Bernadotte-52|Carl Ludvig Eugen Bernadotte (1826-1872)]] was king of Sweden and Norway - Carl XV in Sweden and Carl IV in Norway. Even in his lifetime he was known as a ladies' man. He had several known mistresses, among them maids-of-honor [[Sparre-88|Sigrid Sparre]] and [[Sparre-87|Josefine Sparre]] and actresses [[Bergnér-101|Laura Bergnér]] aka ''Signora Farali'', and [[Styrell-1|Johanna Styrell]] aka ''Hanna Stjernblad''. It was also said that he had fathered many illegitimate children, although he did not have any with the abovementioned mistresses. There are many rumours and family myths about descent from an illegitimate child of king Carl XV but so far research has not found any proven, or even credible, case. There are discussions at length in [https://forum.rotter.se/index.php?board=6937.0 Anbytarforum] of many cases. WikiTree has in time accumulated a small number of profiles with claims. Sources are on the profiles. ==Carl Johan Bolander== [[Bolander-45|Carl Johan Bolander (1854-1903)]] was the second and last son of [[Petersson-1082|Anders Magnus Bolander]] and his wife [[Lindqvist-248|Anna Greta Lindqvist]], farmers in Barkeryd parish in Småland. The family had a somewhat unusual history in that the father and the elder son went to America in 1867-68 (and never came back), while the mother and younger son moved to Stockholm a few years later. Carl Johan Bolander studied at the music conservatory - there was a great demand for cantors in the Swedish "folk schools". However, Carl Johan was gifted enough to make a career as an organist in Västerås Cathedral. His youngest son, [[Bolander-46|Nils Fredrik Bolander (1902-1959)]] eventually became a bishop (in 1958, a year before his death). The source for the claim of Carl Johan Bolander's royal paternity is an unsubstantiated statement in passing in the biography of Nils Bolander. Nils was one year old when his father died and none of Carl Johan's children were even born when their grandmother died - so she can not have been the one telling stories. ==Josef Wilhelm Malkus Åberg== [[Oberg-151|Josef Wilhelm Malkus Oberg (1863-1932)]] was born to unwed [[Aberg-29|Antonia Åberg]] 23 january 1863. He grew up in fosterage with the parents of his mother in Borgholm on Öland, became a sailor and ended up in Australia in time to marry and have a first child in Victoria in June 1891. He never formally emigrated from Sweden. The family story about his background told by Malcus Oberg in Australia was that his mother had been a maid in the royal household, possibly at the summer residence near Borgholm, and his unknown father was a member of the royal house. At some point in time the rumour settled for king Carl XV. However, when the family started looking into [[Space:Antonia_Åberg|Antonia's background]] in the records, they found out that at the time of Malkus Oberg's conception, Antonia was employed in the household of a well-to-do family in Stockholm (and never anywhere near the royal household). ==Carl Johan Blomgren== [[Johansson-5138|Carl Johan Blomgren (1863-1944)]] was the first child of [[Johansdotter-1870|Inga Helena Johansdotter]] in Hjorted, Småland. He was born out of wedlock, but there is a note in the household record naming the father, the hussar [[Eliasson-266|Johannes Eliasson]] (later Blomgren). Eliasson married another woman, whom he abandoned while she was pregnant. Carl johan's mother married another man, with whom she had a daughter who died in infancy. Her husband abandoned Inga Helena after just a few years, and she got back together with Johannes Blomgren. They had two children together, while on the road, using false names, which was revealed when Blomgren was tried and sentenced for theft in 1871. Carl Johan Blomgren moved north, became a confectioner, and had ten children in two marriages. The story that Carl Johan was an illegitimate child of Carl XV probably originated with him - if it was not invented by his mother. The story has been believed among Carl Johan's descendants, leading to their participation in the 2010 documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMm87DB0bU ''Blått blod''] - where a DNA comparison with the also participating Bernadotte Black Sheep gave an "it's possible" result. Following this apparent confirmation, one of Carl Johan's descendants wrote a fictionalized account of Inga Helena's adventure with the king, ''Flickorna i Småland'', Paul Blom (2015). This story does not hold up well when compared with contemporary records, as extensively presented in the profiles for the family. ==Carl Rudolf Bernadotte Nordenstam== The birth of [[Seelig-145|Carl Rudolf Bernadotte (Seelig) Nordenstam (1863-1942)]] is a bit of a mystery. He was the son of widow [[Wickman-148|Josefina Charlotta Selig, neé Wickman (1824-1901)]] and an unknown father. He lived with his mother in Göteborg - but he had not been included in her credentials when she moved in ther in 1867. The information about his date and place of birth seems to have been provided by himself at the time of his confirmation. Carl Rudolf Bernadotte Selig became a stage magician in Norway, adopting the surname Nordenstam, and claiming to be an illegitimate son of Carl XV. This was resoundingly refuted when a male descendant participated in the 2010 documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMm87DB0bU ''Blått blod'']. The DNA test yielded the answer "not possible". ==Ellen Maria Hammar neé Svensson== [[Svensson-1470|Ellen Maria (Svensson) Hammar (1865-1931)]] was the daughter of the successful furniture manufacturer [[Svensson-4462|Carl Peter Svensson]] and his wife [[Gustafsson-1140|Theresia Wilhelmina Gustafsson]], fourth in a flock of seven siblings. Her mother was the half sister of [[Styrell-1|Hanna Styrell (1842-1904)]], one time mistress of Carl XV. So the story about Ellen claims that she was the love child of Hanna Styrell and the king. This is completely unsupported by the contemporary documentation; her record of birth and baptism, for example, is perfectly ordinary - and she fits so snugly into the sibling flock. Nevertheless, her story about being the illegitimate child of king Carl is among the most widespread, having gained an aura of credibility by being included in works by a reputable specialist on the literatry and cultural history of the 19th century. His informant in the matter was someone who had been a childhood friend of Ellen's sons.

[[Category:Kriget mot Sigismund 1598-1599]] [[Category:Svenska krig - 1448 till 1630]] [[Category: The War Against Sigismund 1598-1599]] == Bakgrund == [[Vasa-39|Sigismund]] blev kung av Polen 1587 och 1592 ärver han den svenska kronan efter sin far [[Vasa-26 |Johan III]]. Sigismund är katolik, vilket ogillas i Sverige, och hans farbror hertig [[Vasa-11|Karl]] vill ha kronan för egen del. Både Polen och Sverige har intressen i Estland så när Polen kräver att Sigismund skall se till så att Sverige ger upp den mark landet har i Estland till Polens fördel ställs han inför en svår situation då han lovat Sverige att det inte skall behöva avstå från några landområden. Karl kallar till Riksdag i Arboga 1597 och går då emot Sigismunds order att inte sammankalla riksdagen utan hans tillåtelse. Därefter tar Karl över Kalmar och Älvsborg, samt startar en expedition till Finland. == Krigets början == I februari 1598 bestämmer sig Sigismund för att gå mot Sverige och samlar en arme på 5000 man. Hans närmsta män har rådit honom att samla minst en dubbelt så stor arme. Han ber Danmark om assistans men nekas. Män skickas till Sverige för att be bondefolket om stöd men de är lojala mot Karl, den siste av Gustav Vasas söner. Sigismund avreser mot Sverige 22 juli och anländer vid Avaskär den 30:e. Han intar Kalmar efter att ha stött på milt motstånd. == Slaget vid Stegeborg == Sigismund och hans arme lämnar Kalmar 11 augusti för att ta sig mot Stegeborg i [[:Category:Östergötlands landskap| Östergötland]]. Samtidigt har den finska flottan anlänt norr om Stockholm och Karl bestämmer sig för att ta itu med den först. Den finske kommendanten, Stålarm, har fått order att inte ge sig in i strid och avseglar mot Finland. Flera av hans skepp tas tillfånga av den svenska flottan och Karl kan åter vända mot Kalmar. Stockholm intas av polackerna i Karls frånvaro. Sigismunds flotta splittras under en storm på väg mot Stegeborg och han är mycket sårbar när han anländer där 22 augusti. Han lyckas samla ihop 24 av de förlorade skeppen och nyheten om att Älvsborgs och Gullbergs fästningar har gått över till hans sida, samt Västra Götaland och Smålands kavalleri regimenten. Karl har nått Linköping. Karl lämnar Linköping och slår läger vid Mem [[:Category: Tåby församling (E)|Tåby socken]], nordväst om Stegeborg 28 augusti. Han skicker en parlamentariker för att få svar av Sigismund men denna tas tillfånga och Sigismund ser kravet som ett tecken på att kriget har börjat. Han bestämmer sig för att attackera redan följande dag. På morgonen den 8:e september skickar Karl sina trupper mot Stegeborg men hamnar mellan två polska trupper. Det ser ut som att polackerna håller på att vinna när Sigismund avblåser striden och låter Karl återvända till sitt läger vid Mem. Svenskarna har förlorat 300 män, polackerna 16. Karl överväger att lämna Sverige och låta Sigismund vinna kriget men övertalas av sina närmsta män att fortsätta slåss. Den svenska flottan har nu nått vattnen utanför Stegeborg och Sigismund ger sig av mot Linköping med sin arme på natten mellan den 20:e och 21:a september. Karl följer efter. == Slaget vid Stångebro == [[:Category: The Battle at Stångebro (1598)]] Karl sätter sina trupper på västra sidan av Stångån och Sigismund röjer området mellan Stor- och Lillbron. På morgonen den 25:e står Karls trupper på den östra sidan och Sigismund på den västra. En tjock dimma döljer fienderna för varandra. Karl attackerar polackerna som blir tagna med överraskning tack vare dimman. == Sverige vinner == Polackerna förlorar slaget och Sigismund lämnar landet, men har planer på att återvända. Karl omger Kalmar, Älvsborg och Stockholm och de ger sig en efter en tills kriget är över 1599.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] =Married names for Swedish women?= Married names in Sweden came in use '''late''' compared to the rest of Europe. There are some principles - married names for women were enforced by law only between 1920 and 1963, but ''may'' have been used earlier, particularly among nobility and townsfolk. Since many genealogy softwares assign married names to women by default, there are all too many women with falsely assigned married names in family trees on the Net. These are '''not''' good enough for WikiTree, unless they can be sourced from church records or other official documents. ==Development over time== The Name Law of 1920 was a milestone - but the transition period before that was longdrawn - over at least a century - so no precise dates can be given. According to Ingela Martenius, women used their husbands' names ''socially'' before they were used ''legally''[http://web.comhem.se/~u31263678/genealogy/Names.pdf Swedish Names] review by Ingela Martenius - a section on women's surnames and a one-sentence mention of the "widow phenomenon" What counts for WikiTree purposes is when a woman is '''in the records''' by her married name. ===No married names in the patronymic system=== [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|Patronymics]] '''can not''' be used as married names for logical reasons, since they refer to a person as a son or daughter of his or her father - which will not change as they marry. There may be exceptions to this in families that adopted -son names as family names at an early stage, see: [[Space:Early_frozen_patronymics_Sweden|Early frozen patronymics]] (wikiTree page). ===As a rule the woman kept her family name when married=== As for [[Space:Family_names_in_Sweden|family names]], Swedish women born with a family name also kept this throughout life, until late in time. Thus it is very common to find families of craftspeople or townsfolk in Swedish household records, where husband and wife have different surnames. * [[Cons-4|Maria Charlotta Cons]] (1813 - 1852) and her husband Johan Wennergren provide an example from the small town of Enköping. ** There are many more examples if you care to browse the household record for Enköping 1843-1851 - [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0003368_00344 image:C0003368_00344] - images freely available at the Swedish National Archives. At a quick glance surnames/family names seem more common among the established households than patronyms - and wives keep the name they were born with. * [[Westberg-198|Anna Westberg]] and her husband, Master Smith [[Nordin-152|Johannes Nordin]], may exemplify the craftspeople carrying each their own family name throughout their marriage. ** They can be found, for example, in the household record for Bjuråker (1800-1810), [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0030499_00113 image: C0030499_00113] - images freely available at the Swedish National Archives. Browsing the pages for Strömbacka Bruk will also turn up several more couples where both have family names. Families immigrated to Sweden from down on the continent brought their customs with them. Among them we may find women recorded with married names at a very early stage: *[[Salina-8|Beata Salina]] (1636-1693) was born in Stockholm, in an educated family, with a background in Danzig. She married [[Springer-196|Carl Christopher Springer]], who also was of German extraction. She is in the records with both names, during her marriage. When the surname of the father was a true family name, the children would inherit the name of the father. When the last name of the father was a [[Space:Swedish_soldier_names|soldier name]] this was usually '''not''' inherited by the children - although this is a rule with plenty of exceptions. Just be sure to check primary sources, so that the inherited surname isn't an artifact of some genealogy software. ===Compulsory married names in 1920=== There was a [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|name law]] passed in 1920, making it compulsory for women to take their husband's surname when they married. However, by then the use of married names for women had been a trend for a long time. * [[Space:The_last_-dotters|A collection of case studies]] - mostly about the transition from -dotter names The law was relaxed in 1963 so after that things became more complicated again (see [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|Swedish Name Laws]]). =Widows assigned the name of their husbands= It is interesting to find that there are quite a number of women who are not in the records with their husband's surname as long as he is alive - '''but they are assigned his surname as widows'''. :This does not refer to the numerous cases in older times where women are in the books as "the widow of so-and-so" - like [[Nilsdotter-523|Brita Nilsdotter]] (1687-1786), who is in her own death record as "the widow of fourir Blomstedt, 81 years old (no name given for her) - or [[Månsdotter-414|Brita Månsdotter]] (abt. 1680 - 1743), who is "''salig'' Brodin's widow, ''hustru'' Brita" in her death record (no patronymic given for her). This is just the ordinary focus on male heads of household in the old ministerial books. But the attention to names encouraged by WikiTree has drawn our attention to cases where a widow is in the records, somewhere, with a "married name". The use of a husband's surname for his widow was probably not the choice of the woman herself, but either a social custom in the area or an idea held by the record keeper(s) in the local clergy. Be that as it may, this phenomenon is worth exploring by means of some cases. ==A few examples== The initial collection is just a number of cases that we have come across while entering and editing profiles in WikiTree, and so don't say much about how widespread the practice might be. Here are a couple of cases from Skog parish in Hälsingland, followed by an overview of women in ten years' worth of death records for Skog, having a surname rather than a patronymic. ===[[Andersdotter-5924|Margta Andersdotter]] widow Stålnäbb (1695 - 1778) [[:Category: Skog (X)|Skog (X)]]=== [[Andersdotter-5924|Margta Andersdotter]] was the daughter of [[Simonsson-119|Anders Simonsson]].

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[Category: Metronyms in Sweden]] *[[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] '''A metronym is a name based on a female given name, indicating the mother whose son or daughter a person is.''' Like [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|patronyms]] metronyms are not inheritable (or at least they were not in the olden days). ==Medieval metronyms== In medieval times metronyms were sometimes used for political reasons, the example usually given is the one of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweyn_II_of_Denmark Sven Estridsson]. ==Metronyms for children out of wedlock== Metronyms have also been used for children born out of wedlock, presumably when the father was unknown. In some parts of Sweden it seems that metronyms were never used. On the other hand, in Norrbotten (and to some extent Västerbotten) they were quite frequent - indeded, there are so many cases that they must have been used even when the father '''was''' known. Also, in Norrbotten it seems to have been quite common that people were known by their metronym all their life. In Bohuslän we can also find quite a number of young people with metronymic last names. Here, however, it rather seems as if the carrier of a metronym replaced it with a patronym or a surname as soon as they could. One thing that Norrbotten/Västerbotten and Bohuslän have in common is the very strict version of Lutheranism prevalent in those parts: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laestadianism Laestadianism] in Norrbotten and [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schartauanism Schartauanism] in Bohuslän. The intention seems clearly to have been to emphasize the illegitimate birth. '''Please do not use metronyms as default Last Name at Birth - only use them when they are found in the primary sources.''' ==The distribution of metronyms in Sweden== An improvised study of the distribution of metronyms in Sweden 1880 confirms the above impression of where metronyms were frequently used. The study was done by means of searches for metronyms based on a number of female given names in the census [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/folkrakningar Folkräkningar] at Riksarkivet. The results were entered into a Google spreadsheet. Out of 254 cases of metronymic names 164 were found in Norrbotten, 25 in Västerbotten, 16 in Bohuslän (with Göteborg), 12 in Älvsborg (the neighbour county of Bohuslän), 13 in Kronoberg - and a tail of one or a few occurrences in 9 other counties. As a comparison, there were 139 010 persons with the last name Andersson and 125 866 persons named Andersdotter in the 1880 census. * [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CWbJKw2dJKZ74e3ebQC4smcruk1Gp7F2-VJJDj4jhQg/edit?usp=sharing Spreadsheet of the distribution of metronyms 1880] * [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/folkrakningar Folkräkningar] at Riksarkivet - if you wish to do some searches of your own Also, note that in eleven counties we did not find any metronym in the 1880 census. ===What we did=== We opted to study only one census, in order not to get the same person counted more than once, and settled for 1880 because that is the first census in Folkräkningar to cover all of Sweden. In order to get statistics we selected to '''group statistics by birth county''' (this is available under more options/''Fler sökalternativ''). We searched for names beginning with a female name and ending in -dotter or -son. The names were common names: Anna, Brita, Greta, Kristina/Kerstin/Stina, Maria, Eva, Helena, Sara and Katarina/Karin/Kajsa - using suitable wildcards for catching spelling variants like Brita/Britta, Kristina/Christina and the like. The choice of names is the main reason why we consider this an improvised study. Since children living with a parent are typically in the census without a last name, the search will only catch individuals who have flewn the nest. This may account for some of the difference between Norrbotten and Bohuslän, since people in Bohuslän seem to have been more inclined to drop their metronym. ===A remark on stray metronyms=== Scratching a little bit at the single person born with a metronym in Uppsala county, a Carinsdotter, she turned out to be Anna Carin Andersdotter - a mistranscription. Likewise, the single metronymic in Örebro county, an Evasdotter, turned out to be the daughter of an Ernst, moreover born in Stora Kil in Värmland county, not in Kil, Örebro county. We had to go back to her birth record to be sure, she moved a lot and was probably mistranscribed before she got into ''Folkräkningar'' 1880. ===A remark on Norrbotten=== Searching only for people born in Norrbotten and breaking it down by birth parish reveals another pattern (or seems to reveal, since this is just a spot-check). The parishes where we find people by name Mariasson in 1880 are: Karl Gustav (7), Hietaniemi (4), Korpilombolo (4), Pajala (4), Övertorneå (3) and Gällivare (2). Of these six parishes four are among the [[Space:Parishes_divided_1809|parishes divided between Finland and Sweden in 1809]] - all but Korpilombolo and Gällivare are in that list. When you look at the individuals, almost all of them have a note that they are Finns (Meänkieli speakers). Among the Finns in Norrbotten the metronym usually appears together with a distinguishing surname, and seems to be kept from birth to death. ==Case studies== We have spent some time looking for people with metronyms in Bohuslän, and collected a number of cases, following them in the sources from birth to death (or at least into adulthood): * [[Annasson-2|Carl Albin Annasson]] * [[Annasson-4|Johan Adolf Annasson]] * [[Britasdotter-3|Josefina Britasdotter]] * [[Christinasdotter-2|Carolina Christinasdotter]] * [[Christinasdotter-1|Johanna Augusta Christinasdotter]] We have also found a few profiles from up north: * [[Annasdotter-5|Kalise Annasdotter]] * [[Britasdotter-1|Lovisa Britasdotter]] * [[Margrethasson-1|Nils Margrethasson]] - we should clearly explore Norrbotten and Västerbotten some more. ===A remark on methods=== We spent almost a full workday looking for young people with metronymic names in Bokenäs parish in Bohuslän by going through the birth book from 1861 and about a decade on, checking children born out of wedlock in the household records until they appeared with a last name. This resulted in only three clearcut cases - some babies were impossible to follow (due to the low status of unwed mothers treated as vagrants), some died before getting a last name and many turned out to have a patronym the first time they were entered with a last name. It would probably have been a smarter strategy to look them up from ''Folkräkningar''. We have attempted another method for finding case study material in Stensele parish, Västerbotten, where we browsed the household record AI:5 (1855-1863) for metronyms. We picked Stensele because of results form ''Folkräkningar'' - and found a small number of cases to be explored. * Profiles entered for [[Margrethasson-1|Nils Margrethasson]] and his mother * [[Annasdotter-6|Cajsa Lovisa Annasdotter]] had a younger (half)sister Fredrika Albertina and an elder (half)sister Sofia Johanna Persdotter. There were three Ulricasdotter - born to three different mothers by name Ulrica. One more Annasdotter, a Britasdotter, a Mariasdotter and a Sarasdotter. So at this time only one boy, but a small bunch of girls.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[:Category: Swedish Names|More WikiTree pages about Swedish names]] =Swedish Patronymics in WikiTree= In a patronymic naming system people are referred to by their given name and whose son or daughter they are. In Sweden this results in all those names ending in ''-son'' for the sons and ''-dotter'' for the daughters. So the Swedish patronymic system is '''a pronouncedly gendered system'''. This is why there are DB_errors for mis-gendered patronymics: * [[Space:DBE_911|Data Error 911]] Swedish patronym DOTTER for male * [[Space:DBE_912|Data Error 912]] Swedish patronym SSON for female (before 1850) It is also important to note that '''women did not take their husband's name as a married name''' until very late in time. When the patronymic system was still in use it would have been absurd for a woman to drop her -dotter name and start using her husband's -son name. Also note that -dotter names are often abbreviated in the church records as -dtr or -dr. Abbreviations are '''not''' real names - always write out -dotter in full. * [[Space:DBE_913|Data Error 913]] Swedish patronym DOTTER abbreviated ==How patronymics work== Under the patronymic system the sons of an Olof were [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/olofsson Olofsson] or [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/OLSSON Olsson], whereas the daughters of Olof were [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/olofsdotter Olofsdotter] or [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/olsdotter Olsdotter]. The sons of an Erik were [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/eriksson Eriksson] or [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/ersson Ersson], and the daughters were [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/eriksdotter Eriksdotter] or [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/ersdotter Ersdotter], and so on. So the last name changed from generation to generation and brothers and sisters did not have the exact same last name. A man '''never''' had a name ending in -dotter. The -son names were eventually "frozen" into family names, used by all in the family, while the -dotter names were phased out. So a woman did not have a name ending in -son unless the patronymic had been "frozen" into a surname, which happened gradually during the 1800s, with a slow start and an acceleration in the last quarter of the 19th century. Thus the transition period from gendered patronymics to -son surnames was very long. [[Space:The_last_-dotters|The last -dotters]] will have died well into the 20th century. There are some exceptional cases, mostly among merchants on the rise, socially, where [[Space:Early_frozen_patronymics_Sweden|patronymics were frozen into family names very early]]. It is also important to note that as a rule women did '''not''' take their husband's name when they married, even when there was a true family name. They certainly did not take his patronymic - they were still daughters of their own fathers. ==Getting used to patronymics== The patronymic system may be a little confusing at first, since the Last Name at Birth keeps changing from generation to generation. It also diverges, so that brothers do not have children with the same LNAB. An an example of how the patronymic names diverge in the male line: if the first Olof had sons Anders Olsson, Per Olsson and Olof Olsson, the sons of Anders Olsson would be Andersson, while the sons of Per Olsson would be Persson - only the sons of Olof Olsson would be Olsson, again. * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Ersson-Descendants-812 Eight generations of Erik, son of Erik] - this is quite unusual. Since the eldest son was often named for his paternal grandfather we get the typical sequences of Olof Andersson, who begat Anders Olofsson, who begat Olof Andersson, who begat Anders Olofsson... Or as in [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Nilsson-Family-Tree-3840 this example]: [[Nilsson-3840|Johan Petter '''Nilsson'''']]s father was [[Pettersson-608|'''Nils''' Pettersson]]. Nils '''Pettersson''''s father was [[Larsson-2890|'''Petter''' Larsson]]. Petter '''Larsson''''s father was [[Pettersson-608|'''Lars''' Persson]]. On the other hand patronymics still give the genealogist a clue to the next generation back. Not least, the patronymic system tells you that something is wrong, when the First Name of the father does not agree with the LNABs of the children. When Per Eriksson has a son by name Johan Johansson you have to wonder if this is just a mis-connection in a tree that has been wandering the Internet for decades. Or if you find a family like that in an actual old household record you should suspect that the wife has been married a first time, to a husband named Johan. ==How long were patronymics used in Sweden?== The common folk of Sweden from medieval times and up at least to the 19th century had mainly patronymic names. [[Space:Swedish_nobility_and_their_names|Nobility]], clerics, craftsmen and town dwellers adopted family names at an earlier stage. In some cases these family names happened to be [[Space:Early_frozen_patronymics_Sweden|frozen patronymics]]. What type of name a person used was mainly goverened by the practices within their social class. Sweden was comparatively late in adopting a name law. * [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|Swedish Name laws]] ==How do you decide on a Last Name at Birth== The earliest church records (1600s) were usually very terse. The patronymic of a child was almost never mentioned in the baptism record, which would say something like: "the son of Anders Olsson in Storgården was christened Olof". In the household records little Olof would just be entered by his given name(s), until he came into his own as head of a household, when he would, at last, be entered as Olof Andersson. However, for WikiTree purposes, we assume that he was Olof Andersson at birth, if his father was Anders and the family did not belong to the classes that '''did''' have family names. As everything else about Swedish church records, this varies with location and over time. Some priests found it convenient and informative to enter children in the birth records as Olof Andersson and Anna Eriksdotter. In some cases in the early books using the full name of the child, the parents are not mentioned - of course "everybody knows" who the parents of Anna Olofsdotter in Brogården must be. At least they knew at the time. For the genealogist it can be a bit of a puzzle. *[[Space:Swedish_children_out_of_wedlock|Last Names for children out of wedlock]] ==Transition from patronymics to family names== For the common folk the transition to something like family names seems mainly to have been triggered by when and how they were touched by the process of industrialization throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. In many cases people just started using a patronym in the way a family name is used. The 16 most common surnames in Sweden 2017 were '''-son names''', originating as "frozen" patronymics. * [http://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/befolkning/amnesovergripande-statistik/namnstatistik/pong/tabell-och-diagram/samtliga-folkbokforda--efternamn-topplistor/efternamn-topp-100/ The top 100 surnames in Sweden 2017] National Bureau of Statistics, SCB People who emigrated also needed to start treating their last name as a family name, or to adopt a name. This is a common cause of brickwalls, particularly when they adopted a swedish-sounding last name which they had never used in Sweden, which happens. * [[Space:Swedish_names_becoming_American_names|Swedish names becoming American names]] * [[:Category: Sweden Family Brick Walls|Category: Sweden Family Brick Walls]] The transition period in the 1800s may be very confusing, because in many families it was the ''patronymic'' of the head of household that was "frozen" and used as a surname for the whole family - while in other families the family name was based on the ''first name'' of the father. It also happened that siblings used -son names based on different parts of their father's name. There is nothing for it but to read the sources from birth to death. ==Where to put patronymics== * When the patronymic is the only "last name" there is for a person you should, of course, put it in the Name field for Last Name at Birth. It should also be in the Current Last Name field - no married names for women in "patronymic times" * When a patronymic was used in combination with an established family name, use the family name as Last Name at Birth and put the patronymic in the Middle Name field. This will display right in most contexts. Using ''Patronymic_FamilyName'' prevents the profile from showing up in the indexed family name listing and obstructs searches. This placement of a patronymic, when there is also a family name, is also recommended for [[Help:Name_Fields_for_European_Aristocrats|European Aristocrats]] in general.

[[Category: Swedish Genealogy Lexicon]] [[Category: Sweden Genealogy Resources]] '''Augmented version of [[:Category: Dödsorsaker|Category: Dödsorsaker]].''' Main purpose of the page is to provide English translations. For Swedish readers seeking explanations of the old terms, there are already many excellent aids, some of them listed below, under Resources. ==Swedish words used in death records== Causes of death recorded by the olden day vicars were classified by symptoms and thus often grouped illnesses with different underlying causes together. The following list is a mixture of these old words for causes of death and more modern diagnoses appearing in later records. It is also a mix of Swedish and Latin. ==The list== Links in Swedish words in the list go back to categories in [[:Category: Dödsorsaker|Category: Dödsorsaker]]. Italics indicate a link to a synonymous category. A link in the English word indicates that there is a corresponding category in English.

This is early for Sweden. Birth, marriage and death are recorded in the same book up to 1720. The first separate death book starts in 1721, the first separate marriage book in 1775. There is also a first household record, started in 1663, and more oriented towards keeping track of the families than towards taking notes from cathechism examinations. The same book was used for a long and indefinite time, so some pages are very messy - it is, nevertheless, very useful. The second book of household records, dated 1720 is less clear about dates.

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 hundred served as a military division, the court of first instance as well as electoral constituency (1436-1866).[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_(county_division)#Scandinavia Wikipedia on Hundred] Today Sweden is divided into 48 judicial districts. * [[:Category: Hundreds, Sweden|Hundreds, Sweden]] category == Research Resources == === General Information === *[[Space:Swedish_names|Swedish Naming Conventions]] *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden FamilySearch Wiki - Sweden] *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Swedish_County_Letters FamilySearch Wiki - Swedish County Letters] *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden:_Parish_Listing FamilySearch Wiki - Sweden Parish Listing] === Records === There are several companies that provide access to different kinds of records.

{{Sweden}} :This page contains an explanation of the structure for the Categories associated with Project Sweden as well as some instructions. :Denna sidan innehåller förklaring till strukturen för kategorierna i Project Sweden samt några instruktioner. Also see the category for [[:Category: Sweden, Geographical Regions]] == Category Instructions == These are some "ground rules" for categories (at least since 2020). * No categories should use ref tags ( or ) * No categories should use headings of any level (== Level 1 Heading == or === Level 2 Heading === etc.) * No categories should have a divider/horisontal line at the beginning or end of text. * All categories should have a brief description and/or state the purpose of the category so the user can be sure it would be the correct category to add to a profile. This text should be at least 50 characters long. :: However, please do not add to much info! If there is much info about the topic of the category, create a free-space profile with the information and add a link to the free-space profile in the category text. All of the above will generate an error for the Categorisation Project. == Correct location category to add Swedish profiles == Profiles should always be placed in the lowest location category possible. That usually means the parish category where the person was born, married, lived for a long time, or died. It should never be the country, province, county or hundred. Sometimes even a smaller category within the parish can be used. This could be the farm, croft or village. It should not be a specific street address and number, that info belongs in the biography of the profile. == Swedish Place Categories == === Provinces (in Swedish: landskap) === The provinces in Sweden are very old geographical areas, older than the counties. They no longer serve any administrative or juridical function. The parent category for provinces are [[:Category: Provinces, Sweden]] and the geographical region (landsdel) to which they belong. : See [[:Category:Provinces, Sweden|Provinces, Sweden]] : Se [[:Category:Landskap, Sverige|Landskap, Sverige]] === Hundreds (in Swedish: härad) === Hundreds are also a very old term, used even before the counties came to be. They were judicial districts (before 1866), and each hundred comprised a number of parishes. The hundred served as a military division, the court of the first instance as well as electoral constituency (1436-1866). The hundreds should have both the province and county as parent category (the county used before the merges of counties in the 21st Century). : See [[:Category: Hundreds, Sweden|Hundreds, Sweden]] : Se [[:Category:Härader, Sverige|Härader, Sverige]] === Counties (in Swedish: län)=== The counties began to be used in the 1600's. 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]]. The counties all have the parent category [[:Category: Counties, Sweden]]. They could also have a parent category for the province they are located in. : See [[:Category:Counties, Sweden|Counties, Sweden]] for more info on Counties. : Se [[:Category:Län, Sverige|Län, Sverige]] för mer information om län. === Parish Categories === Parish categories consist of parish names and the country letter within parenthesis. Example: [[:Category:Kila (D)]] These categories should have a parish county category as parent category, example [[:Category: Parishes, Södermanland]] as well as [[:Category:Parishes, Sweden]] which lists all Swedish parishes A-Ö. Other examples of parent categories for the parishes can be the hundreds they belonged to as well as the municipalities they have been part of. ==== Farms, crofts and villages ==== Name of farm, croft or village + name of parish + county letter within parenthesis. Example: [[:Category:Gårdstenstorp, Kila (D)|Gårdstenstorp, Kila (D)]] These categories have the parish category as the parent category.

Back to [[:Project: Sweden]] Location categories are the categories most used on Swedish profiles. But there are also categories grouping cemeteries, migration, genealogy resource pages, maintenance categories and more. Those relevant to Sweden can be found in the top-level category [[:Category: Sweden]]. == Location Categories == Profiles should always be placed in the lowest location category possible. That usually means the parish category where the person was born, married, lived for a long time, or died. ''It should never be the country, province, county or hundred''. You should only add a location category to a profile if you have a source that state the fact. If you have an ancestor born in Sweden but you do not know where, please use [[:Category: Sweden, Unknown Location]] and add what you know, for instance a province name, in the biography. Sometimes even a smaller category within the parish can be used. This could be the farm, croft or village. Location category names for locations follow the same general principles as Location Fields. This means, for example, place names in native languages and using the names that people at the time used and not using a street address, building name, church, hospital, etc. === Using Parish Categories === Since the Swedish parishes are so important for genealogy in Sweden it is very helpful to categorize your profiles by parish. There are currently well over 2000 categories for [[:Category: Parishes, Sweden|parishes in Sweden]] - almost a full set. When you put a category like [[Category: Leksand (W)]] on one of your profiles the profile will appear on the category page together with others who were born, lived or died there. Two or three location categories on a profile is usually enough. We strongly recommend the nifty new tool in the edit toolbar on biographies for finding and adding parish categories. Because there are many cases where more than one Swedish parish has the same name, the parish categories are named with the '''parish name''' plus the '''[[:Category: Swedish County Codes|county code]]''' in parenthesis. The county code is there instead of the name of the county to make the category name shorter. When a parish category is getting filled up - nearing 200 categorized profiles - you may want to create subcategories for villages, hamlets or farms. These should be of the form [[Category: Altsarbyn, Rättvik (W)]], i.e. '''Village''', '''Parish''' ('''County code'''). If it is necessary, subcategorization could proceed another level, with different farms as subcategories of a village, but [[:Help:Category_Names#General_Rules|the general rule]] is to avoid creating extra layers of navigation. Parishes are grouped by county - [[:Category: Leksand (W)|Leksand]] and [[:Category: Rättvik (W)|Rättvik]] are both [[:Category: Parishes, Dalarna|Parishes in Dalarna]]. The county category - in this case [[:Category: Dalarna County|Dalarna County]] - is a toplevel category that should not be put on a profile that has a parish category. === Where to find parish categories === While editing a profile, you can find categories using the category picker. It's the little button just above the edit box that almost looks like a little ladder. Start typing the name of the parish and it should be listing suggestions after a few typed letters. Another way is to check the categories [[:Category: Sweden, Parishes by County]] and [[:Category: Parishes, Sweden]] which by now should contain almost all parishes in Sweden. === Unknown Swedish Location === If you have an ancestor born in Sweden but you do not know in what parish, please use [[:Category: Sweden, Unknown Location]]. Any additional info about a location, a province or perhaps a village name should be added to the bio in order to help find the correct location for the profile. == Explaining Swedish Place/Location Categories == The [[:Category: Sweden, Geographical Regions]] was created as an effort to hold different kinds of location categories through Swedish history. === Provinces (in Swedish: Landskap) === The provinces in Sweden are very old geographical areas, older than the counties. They no longer serve any administrative or juridical function. Profiles should not be added to the Swedish province categories. The parent category for provinces are [[:Category: Provinces, Sweden]] and the geographical region (landsdel) to which they belong. : See [[:Category:Provinces, Sweden|Provinces, Sweden]] : Se [[:Category:Landskap, Sverige|Landskap, Sverige]] === Hundreds (in Swedish: Härad) === Hundreds are also a very old term, used even before the counties came to be. They were judicial districts (before 1866), and each hundred comprised a number of parishes. The hundred served as a military division, the court of the first instance as well as electoral constituency (1436-1866). The hundreds should have both the province and county as parent category (the county used before the merges of counties in the 21st Century). No profiles should be added to the hundred categories. : See [[:Category: Hundreds, Sweden|Hundreds, Sweden]] : Se [[:Category:Härader, Sverige|Härader, Sverige]] === Counties (in Swedish: Län)=== The counties began to be used in the 1600's. 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]]. The counties all have the parent category [[:Category: Counties, Sweden]]. They could also have a parent category for the province they are located in. No profiles should be added to the county categories. : See [[:Category:Counties, Sweden|Counties, Sweden]] for more info on Counties. : Se [[:Category:Län, Sverige|Län, Sverige]] för mer information om län. === Parish Categories === Parish categories consist of parish names and the country letter within parenthesis. Example: [[:Category:Kila (D)]] This is where profiles can be added. These categories should have a parish county category as parent category, example [[:Category: Parishes, Södermanland]] as well as [[:Category:Parishes, Sweden]] which lists all Swedish parishes A-Ö. Other examples of parent categories for the parishes can be the hundreds they belonged to as well as the municipalities they have been part of. === Farms, crofts and villages === Name of farm, croft or village + name of parish + county letter within parenthesis. Example: [[:Category:Gårdstenstorp, Kila (D)|Gårdstenstorp, Kila (D)]] These categories have the parish category as the parent category. If the parish category is very full, there would be a reason for creating subcategories for this kind of locations. == Emigration Categories == Just as any other category, the migration categories can be found with the category picker in edit mode. The smallest "entity" or location used for emigration/immigration would be the Swedish counties. Not all emigration categories are set up yet, if you need one created let the Nordic Category Team know (see below). === How to categorise a Swedish emigrant === ==== Step 1 ==== * Do you know from which Swedish county they emigrated? ** '''Yes'''. Proceed to step 2. ** '''No'''. If you do not know from which county someone emigrated, please use the [[:Category: Unknown Swedish County, Emigrants]] as "leaving entity" and proceed to step 2. ==== Step 2 ==== * Do you know to which "arriving entity" (state/province/county/district) in the new country the profile immigrated to? ** '''Yes'''. Then the category to choose is "Migrant from "leaving entity" to "arriving entity" and you are done. Example: [[:Category: Migrants from Blekinge County to Alabama]] ** '''No'''. Go to step 3 ==== Step 3 ==== * Do you know to which country the profile emigrated? ** '''Yes'''. The the category to choose is "Leaving entity, Emigrants to Country". Example: [[:Category: Blekinge County, Emigrants to United States]] ** '''No'''. Bummer. The only place left to add the profile is to "Leaving entity", Emigrants". Example: [[:Category: Blekinge County, Emigrants]] A little tip using Category picker for these long category names... you only need to write/search for Blekinge and start writing Alabama in order for it to find "Migrants from Blekinge County to Alabama". == Maintenance Categories == Profiles that need work can be sorted into different maintenance categories, like "needs biography", "needs birth record" or "unsourced". A maintenance category can also be created for a specific Team to work on. This is where you find [[: Category: Sweden, Maintenance Categories]] == Do you want/need a Swedish category created? == If you want help creating a Swedish related category, you can send a message to the Nordic Project Google Group if you are a Nordic Project Member or you can contact the members of the Nordic Category Team [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_Categories_Team|Nordic Project Categories Team]] === Category Instructions === If you already know how to create a category, '''please also consider if it is a needed category before adding it.''' Preferably also communicate with someone in the [[Space:Nordic_Project_-_Categories_Team|Nordic Project Categories Team]]. Otherwise, you may find that unapproved category structures could be deleted and your hard work wasted. Useful links - help pages for [[:Help:Category_Creation_and_Removal]] and [[:Help:Personal_Categories]] Also, these are some "ground rules" for categories (at least since 2020) that you must consider. * No categories should use ref tags ( or ) * No categories should use headings of any level (== Level 1 Heading == or === Level 2 Heading === etc.) * No categories should have a divider/horisontal line at the beginning or end of text. * All categories should have a brief description and/or state the purpose of the category so the user can be sure it would be the correct category to add to a profile. This text should be at least 50 characters long. :: However, please do not add to much info! If there is much info about the topic of the category, create a free-space profile with the information and add a link to the free-space profile in the category text. All of the points above will generate an error for the Categorisation Project.

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.

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. Sometimes even a smaller category within the parish can be used. This could be the farm, croft or village. It should not be a specific street address and number. That information belongs in the biography of the profile.

We rely on the project members to contribute with corrections and improvements in order to make the Swedish profiles look their best. If we could all help out, even a little bit, once in a while, it would help improve WikiTree. ---- == Sourcing == You can help by sourcing the Swedish profiles that are currently unsourced. We also have a category for profiles that might have sources but is in need of Swedish sources as well. And then there is the category for project managed profiles that need sources. * [[:Category:Sweden, Unsourced Profiles]] * [[:Category: Sweden Project Needs Swedish Sources]] * [[:Category: Sweden Project Needs Sources]] == Writing biographies == In the [[:Category: Sweden Project Needs Biography]] there are some profiles, managed by the project, that need a biography written.

A 5-star profile is among those profiles on WT who had most visits from people, inside or outside WT. For example, the profile of Olof Palme that was worked on last year has had 2849 visits in total, last year was 879 visits. Many of the Swedish notables only have Wikipedia and Find a Grave as sources and very little info in the biography.

[[Category:Sweden]] [[Category:Sverige]] [[Category: Swedish Projects]] [[Category: Sweden Project]] {{Image|file=Thorisdottir-4-1.png |align=r |size=m }} ==MiniChallenge 2024== Are you interested in joining a WikiTree Thon or Challenge, but feel intimidated by the strict deadline or the large number of participants? Do you want to have fun and learn from the WikiTree Community, but at your own pace and without pressure? Then you might enjoy this MiniChallenge! This MiniChallenge is a great way to get familiar with how a Thon or a Challenge works, while also improving the profiles of some Swedish Authors. You will have the opportunity to communicate with fellow WikiTreers and discover more about the history and genealogy of Sweden. One of the easiest way to get to know a country is to read books that happen there. To see characters come alive on the pages of a book. See their surroundings with their eyes. That's why it is fitting to give some Tender Loving Care to some Swedish Authors. The Challenge will run from the start of Marts until the end of August. == Swedish Authors == A list of the participants: # [[Swartz-1153|Moa Martinson (1890-1964)]] # [[Moberg-302|Karl Artur Wilhelm Moberg (1898-1973)]] # [[Jonsson-9796|Eyvind Johnson (1900-1976)]] # [[Boye-90|Karin Maria Boye (1900-1941)]] # [[Lidman-11|Sara Adéla Lidman (1923-2004)]] # [[Wahlöö-1|Per Fredrik Wahlöö (1926-1975)]] # [[Enqvist-92|Per Olof Enqvist (1934-2020)]] If you are wondering why your favorit author is not on the list, it is probably because their tree is already on WikiTree. Among others: # [[Strindberg-9|Johan August Strindberg (1849-1912)]] # [[Lagerlöf-1|Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlöf (1858-1940)]] # [[Eriksson-3483|Erik Axel (Eriksson) Karlfeldt (1864-1931)]] # [[Maartman-1|Elsa (Maartman) Beskow (1874-1953)]] # [[Martinsson-25|Harry Edmund (Martinsson) Martinson (1904-1978)]] # [[Ericsson-126|Astrid Anna Emilia (Ericsson) Lindgren (1907-2002)]] # [[Sjöwall-11|Maj Sjöwall (1935-2020)]] # [[Lindgren-224|Torgny Gustaf Lindgren (1938-2017)]] # [[Mankell-1|Henning Mankell (1948-2015)]] # [[Larsson-8132|Karl Stig-Erland Larsson (1954-2004)]] If the author is still living, then he/she is not included in this challenge. == How to Join the MiniChallenge== That is easy, you don't have to do anything. Just start building trees for the Profiles in the Challenge, by adding profiles for their relatives. We have three main goals: # Connect the MiniChallenge main Profile to the Global Tree. # Build out the tree by adding their Ancestors. # Build out the tree sideways by adding siblings, spouses of the siblings, cousins, In-laws and so forth, as far and wide as possible. Simply pick a Profile to work on and start building. What we do ask you to do is to '''Communicate''': * Let us know which profile you have picked. * What are you planning to work on? * Have you found something interesting? * Do you need help with something? * Can you see that someone else is working on a profile, that you would like to work on, then write to them directly. * If someone is working on the paternal line, maybe you could work on the maternal line. The important thing is to communicate, so you don't step on each others toes. == How and where to Communicate== For the purpose of the MiniChallenge there are two ways to Communicate: # Answer the [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1714274 G2G post]. # Join us on Discord. If you have finished Part 1 of the Nordic Trail, you will have received a invitation to Discord. The Nordic Project uses [https://groups.google.com/?hl=en&pli=1#!forum/wikitrees-nordic-project Google Groups] for communication. But, when participating in Thons and Challenges, we prefer to use either G2G or Discord. ==How to Join the Project== If you haven't already, you can join the Nordic Project and the (country) Project. It's not a requirement, but the purpose of the MiniChallenge is for you to get to know the community. The Projects are a big part of that. In order to join any project on WikiTree, you must first be a WikiTree member. If you are not yet a WikiTree member, see '''[[Help:How_to_Use_WikiTree|How to Use WikiTree]]''' to get started. You should also be willing to actively participate in the project and contribute to the project's goals. We recognize that people lead busy lives and may not be active on WikiTree every single week of the year, but you should at least have the ''intention'' to contribute towards the project's goals on a somewhat regular basis. Since Sweden Project now is a sub-project of Nordic Project you will find more info on how to join on the [[Project:Nordic|Nordic Project page]].

[[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 Project]] Back to [[Project: Sweden]] Sweden Project relies on the project members to contribute with corrections and improvements in order to make the Swedish 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 Swedish profiles. You can also add [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Category_Instructions|categories]] as well as some of the [[Space:Swedish_Templates|templates and stickers]] available for Swedish profiles. Sweden Project has also set up some "profile standards" especially for Swedish profiles to help explain the different parts of a profile and to be a tool for you when making a Swedish profile look its best. Please check out the page for [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Swedish_Profile_Standards|'''Sweden Project - Swedish Profile Standards''']]. 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 Swedish family ancestors, but if you should have some extra time there are other Swedish profiles that could use some help in order to be connected to "the big Wiki Tree". Check out the links below; * [[:Category: Sweden Project Needs Profiles Created]] * [[:Category: Sweden, Needs Profiles Created]] * [[:Automated:DD_Unconnected_List_SWE]] Before adding profiles, you might want to check out the page about how/what to enter in the [[Space:Sweden_Project_-_Name_and_Location_Fields|Name and Location Fields of Swedish profiles]]. == 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: Sweden, Needs Gedcom Cleanup]]. == Sourcing == You can help by sourcing the Swedish 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 Swedish profiles pre-1700 please check [[Space:Sweden_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: Sweden Project Needs Swedish Sources]] ** [[:Category: Sweden Project Needs Sources]] * Other Swedish native profiles; ** [[:Category:Sweden, Unsourced Profiles]] Profiles without any source at all ** [[:Category: Sweden, Needs More Records]] Profiles, partially sourced. ** [[:Category: Sweden, Needs Swedish Sources]] Profiles, likely emigrants, with sources from another country than Sweden If you are ready for a real challenge, check out [[:Category: Sweden, 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 Sweden Project that needs their biography written (or improved) [[:Category: Sweden Project Needs Biography]]. There is also a category for other Swedish profiles (not managed by the project) that are in need of a biography, check out [[:Category:Sweden, 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]] * [https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/lundholm24/ref-making/ Swedish reference creation tool] 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.

the [[Project:Sweden|Sweden Project]] }} ==Reliable sources== A wealth of '''original records''' for Sweden can be found in digitized form, free of charge (mostly B&W) at [https://riksarkivet.se/ Riksarkivet] and (in colour) for a fee at [https://www.arkivdigital.se/ ArkivDigital]. The B&W images are also accessible through Ancestry.com and FamilySearch. Records from the church, state, county etc. are reliable in the sense of being the public record of events. They are, however, not always accurate - clerics do make mistakes. And so they need to be evaluated in context. Sources should be cited in a way that makes it possible for others to find them without a link available. ===Pre-1700=== Earlier records will be sparser and more difficult to read and interpret. Church records for Swedish parishes (birth-marriage-death) ''may'' go back to the early 1600s, more typically they go to the last decades of the 1600s. In many cases, however there are no pre-1700 parish records. Court records (not for the fainthearted), taxation records and land deeds go further back. Using these original sources for Swedish pre-1700 profiles is perfectly appropriate, indeed preferred - with the necessary caution in interpretation and awareness of potential errors. * [[Space:Riksarkivet_-_the_Swedish_National_Archives|Riksarkivet]] - a WikiTree page For '''pre-1500''' profiles there will be very few original sources available to the layman. == Unreliable Sources == * '''User-contributed family trees''' at sites like: FamilySearch, Ancestry, Geni, MyHeritage, Rootsweb, WikiTree, Geneanet etc. **'''A tree without sources is insufficient as a source for WikiTree profiles.''' **A tree with precise dates and places will usually be a good guide of where to look for original records.

(In quite a few cases, precise dates and places, particularly before 1700, may be signs of fabrication. Exact birth years and places before parish records exist are a warning signal.) **When a tree does present sources, please take the time to look up the original sources.

After all, the mothers were not mentioned in the book for children of married couples, either. In the case of Anders Bengtsson, researchers have found out the name of his mother, Anna Ambjörnsdotter, by studying the court records. Anna had taken Bengt to court in order to make him marry her, but he still refused. No doubt they were both fined for extramarital intercourse''Fädernegårdarna'', Christina Högmark Bergman (1993) - the penalties were quite strict. The records at this time were far from standardized. The vicar in Skinnskatteberg almost never mentions the name of the wife in baptism records, but names the father and the mother, both, for children born out of wedlock. {{Image|file=Ericsson-337.jpg |align=c |size=500 |caption=Skinnskatteberg C:1 (1623-1677) p. 20 [http://www.arkivdigital.se/aid/info/v74049.b24.s20 page info Arkiv Digital] }} ''Skinnskatteberg 1640.

No patronym or family name is given for Eric, the father. Instead it is explained that he worked for Olof Hising as a merchant's assistant. ==The default nature of patronyms== Another very common trait of early Swedish baptism records is that they do not record a last name for the children. (There are, of course, exceptions as with everything). The default for "last names" was the gendered [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|patronymic system]], where your last name depended on whose daughter or son you were. So, as we can see, it was important to know who was your father - and your neighbours and the vicar were pretty good at keeping tabs on who had shared a bed or a haystack with whom. And up to 1777 it was the duty of midwives to pressure unwed mothers towards revealing the name of the father.''Fader okänd'' Elisabeth Reuterswärd, Sveriges släktforskarförbund, Stockholm, 2011 Actually, it was your relationship to a head of household that was important, as we can see from the case of Eric , Olof Hising's assistant. There are many examples of this in the first ministerial book for Skinnskatteberg. So, it was of importance in the local community to know whose son or daughter you were, but your patronymic did not get into the records until you came into your own, leaving home or forming your own household. After all, there was no compulsory database field for a Last Name at Birth in the books. Your patronym was just assumed as something that "everybody" would know. This lack of explicit last names for children and young people still living with their parents isn't even just an early phenomenon but continues more or less up to the last publishable parish population records (there's a seventy-year limit). * [[Space:Patronymics_in_Sweden|Patronymics in Sweden]] ==Acknowledged children== In time, the practice of entering illegitimate children in the birth book as primarily children of their father gave way to entering them as children born out of wedlock to their mothers. It is still common to find an acknowledgement by the father entered in the birth book - or in the household record. In 1853 a girl named [[Jönsdotter-1741|Anna Brita]] was born in Hamrånge parish to unwed [[Olsdotter-855|Anna Olsdotter]].Hamrånge AI:17b (1857-1861) Bild 166 / sid 161 : [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkivdigital Arkiv Digital] [http://www.arkivdigital.se/aid/info/v135123.b166.s161 page info] v135123.b166.s161 | [http://aid.arkivdigital.se/show/v135123.b166.s161 To page (paywall)] | [http://sok.riksarkivet.se/?postid=Arkis%20{09776ea1-fc63-47c6-8703-f6d210acf3e8}&s=Balder Riksarkivet] {{Image|file=Jonsdotter-1741-1.jpg |size=500 |caption=Hamrånge AI:17b (1857-1861) s. 161, left, [http://www.arkivdigital.se/aid/info/v135123.b166.s161 page info at Arkiv Digital] }} Anna Brita and her mother Anna lived in the household of Anna's father, charcoal maker [[Jonsson-2620|Olof Jonsson]] and his second wife.

(this note slightly overlaps the notes about vaccination). So: the farm hand [[Berg-1841|Jöns Berg]] in Stråtjära has assumed the obligation of providing for the child economically for twelve years, starting in 1854 and thus acknowledged being the father. Anna Brita is later in the books as Anna Brita Berg. In this case the parents did not marry - but it is possible that in the majority of cases children noted in the birth book as ''oäkta'' (illegitimate) turn out to be pre-marital children. We haven't actually counted, but the impression is that in some parts of Sweden in the 19th century most couples had a child before they married. ==Unacknowledged children with locally known father== After the times when the fathers of illegitimate children were routinely entered into the birth book, it was still quite common for children born out of wedlock to have a last name that was a patronym, based on the name of their father. This can be a bit of a puzzle for the researcher, since, as usual, the first time their Last Name is mentioned is about the time they are leaving home. The six children of [[Jansdotter-649|Anna Lisa Jansdotter]] (1835-1922), all born in Råstock, Ljusnarsberg and all born out of wedlock, provide an interesting illustration: * [[Persson-4239|Carl Eric Persson]], 9 Jul 1855Ljusnarsberg C:14 (1849-1861) Bild 112 (AID: v53563.b112, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) * [[Persson-4562|(Carl) Gustaf Persson]], 6 Jun 1857Ljusnarsberg C:14 (1849-1861) Bild 143 (AID: v53563.b143, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) later adopted the name Florman * [[Carlsson-1221|Jan Fredric Carlsson]], 17 Mar 1861Ljusnarsberg C:14 (1849-1861) Bild 219 (AID: v53563.b219, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) went to America * [[Unknown-419050|Carl August]], 17 Sep 1863,Ljusnarsberg C:15 (1862-1870) Bild 57 (AID: v53564.b57, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) died 2 May 1873Ljusnarsberg F:9 (1863-1877) Bild 163 (AID: v53585.b163, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) * [[Carlsdotter-773|Ulrika Carlsdotter]], 4 July 1866Ljusnarsberg C:15 (1862-1870) Bild 173 (AID: v53564.b173, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) * [[Andersson-8363|Lovisa Andersson]], 30 Sep 1869Ljusnarsberg C:15 (1862-1870) Bild 300 (AID: v53564.b300, NAD: SE/ULA/10860)Ljusnarsberg B:9 (1890-1894) Bild 7 (AID: v53549.b7, NAD: SE/ULA/10860) None of the children have a patronym after Anna Lisa's father, Jan. The first two boys had a father named Per. The next son had a father by name Carl, as had the first daughter. The boy between these two died at the age of nine, without ever having a last name in the books. He is named Carl August, and ''may'' have the name Carl after his father. The last girl had a father by name Anders - who may and may not be the Anders Jansson whom Anna Lisa married more than twenty years later. Their last names only show up in the records when they are about to leave home, and there is no mention of any acknowledgment by their fathers. The point being, that although it will hardly be possible to identify the fathers, their names were known (at least to Anna Lisa) and used as the basis for the surnames of the children. ==Father unknown== When the father was entirely unknown, it was usual in most of Sweden for the child to have the last name of the mother - either a family name, like [[Brodin-28|Anders Brodin]] had or a patronymic name based on the maternal grandfather, like [[Kristiansson-133|Anna Elisabeth Kristiansson]] or [[Eriksson-2352|Anna Stina Eriksson]] had. It is difficult to find good examples of this - most of the time it turns out that there '''was''' a known father, after all. Even when there is no acknowledgement noted in the birth book, there is often a patronym based on a name not carried by anybody in the family of the mother, the first time a young person born out of wedlock is in the books with a last name. In some parts of the country, notably Norrbotten/Västerbotten, Swedish-speaking Finland and Bohuslän metronyms - last names based on the name of the mother - were used for children with an unknown father. *[[:Category: Metronyms in Sweden|Metronyms in Sweden]] In WikiTree terms it is inconvenient when a child with unknown father shows up with a last name for the first time and this name is one they got from a stepfather or foster father. ==Parents unknown== This is the real brick wall, of course. Before 1778 the midwife was under obligation to ask for the name of the father when an unwed woman gave birth. However, it happened that women gave birth without the aid of a midwife and suffocated the child. In order to prevent this, the Infanticide act of Gustav III introduced an option for mothers to give birth anonymously (far away from your home parish, usually in a town) and forbade the midwife to ask for the name of the father. This law was in force until 1917, so there is a long period of time where children may be born with both parents unknown. You may also find cases where the mother remains unknown, while the father acknowledges the child.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide_Act_(Sweden) Infanticide Act, Sweden] en.wikipedia.org [[Ekeblad-7|Ekeblad-7]] 09:18, 16 April 2018 (UTC) == Sources ==

This link takes you to the full listing of this parish archive, where a symbol indicates digitized records (there may be digitized records of a few more types, notably the L series.). ==Types of document== There are standardized codes for the various types of record. However, the actual volumes often contain records of more than one type, so that what you are looking for may be found under another code letter. ===A - Husförhörslängder - Household records=== Records organized by village, farm and household, giving a summary of the events in a household for the given period of time. Very good for "keeping a family together" - but dates of birth et cetera may be unreliable. Household records usually start later than records for birth, marriage and death - and the early household records often span very long periods of time, making for very messy pages. Also, the household records started out as records of cathechism examinations, so sometimes the early ones are only just that, ticking off the results for examined household members (not always giving the names of anybody but the head of household, not even including the youngest children). ===B - In- och utflyttningslängder - Records of "arrivals" and "departures"=== Records of who moved into the parish or out of the parish. ===C - Födelse- och dopböcker - Birth and baptism=== Primary records for birth and baptism. Early records often give only the date of baptism, but in Sweden children were almost never baptized later than a week after birth. (A combination of law and superstition). The early ministerial books often have birth, marriage and death records in the same volume, usually, but not always, archived under code C. ===D - Konfirmations- och kommunionlängder - Confirmation and communion=== Records of confirmation and communion. Not compulsory, so they do not always exist. ===E - Lysnings och vigselböcker - Banns and marriage=== Primary records for marriage ===F - Död- och begravningsböcker - Death and burial=== Primary records for death. Early books often give only the burial date. In some parishes the earliest records for deaths are in the church accountancy books (code L) as lists of "testament to the church" for the deceased.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] ==Swedish Name Laws== It is important to understand that in Sweden general laws regulating surnames were instituted very late (basically in 1901). Another important fact is that it was only in 1920 that it became compulsory for women to take their husband's name as a married name. * '''Before 1880''' it was in principle only the names of introduced nobility that were protected by law. Riddarhuset (the House of Nobility) kept watch over the family names of introduced nobility. The names of other social classes were regulated by tradition and sometimes by the social institutions of the class or profession. Traditionally the most common naming system for last names in Sweden was the patronymic system. * '''In 1887''' a law was passed, prohibiting the registration of a company under the family name of someone else. However, since there was no general law regulating the adoption of family names, this law was fairly ineffectual. This served at least to make the need for a name law manifest. * '''In 1901''' '''''Namnförordningen'' (the Name Ordinance)''' set up rules for the adoption of family names. Previously you had been able to adopt a new family name just by registering it with the vicar of your parish. The names regulated by this ordinance were those considered as distinctive, which still left a great number of common names free. Names within a family were regulated by family law. * '''In 1920''' it was made compulsory for a woman to take her husband's name as a married name. Possibly this was introduced in response to the increasingly common practice for women to do so, as the patronymic system was being phased out. However, already in 1963 the option for women to keep the family name they were born with was re-introduced. * The Name Ordinance was modified several times: 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1931, 1946 and 1962 * '''In 1963''' a new '''Name Law''' was passed. For the first time it was compulsory for all Swedish citizens to have a family name, that is, you were no longer allowed to use a patronymic or a patronymic and a farm name, as was still done in Dalarna, Skåne and Hälsingland, where the old farmer culture was strong. * Women again had an option to keep their birth family name when they married. On the other hand, it was no longer allowed to combine a birth family name with a married name into a double surname, creating names like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilie_Flygare-Carl%C3%A9n Flygare-Carlén] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Peterson-Berger Peterson-Berger]. What you could do instead was to take one of the surnames as an extra first name - '''this was what was called a Middle Name in Swedish law from 1963 to 2017'''. * '''In 1982''' a husband was given the option to take the surname of his wife. Patronymics were re-introduced, although you had to submit a special application. * '''In 2017''' the name law 2016:1013 came in effect. It has made it simpler to choose and change names. You can, again, combine two surnames into a double surname (no more than two-part). The most common surnames (i.e. names with more than 2000 carriers) are free for anyone to adopt. A novelty is that you have to submit a surname as well as a given name for children (whereas previously they were automatically registered with the surname of the mother). It also stipulates rules for [[Space:Dalarna_Farm_Names|traditional farm names]]. ==Sources== * [https://www.genealogi.se/index.php?option=com_sobipro&pid=6170&sid=6557:Om-namnbyten-och-namnlagar-i-Sverige&Itemid=699 ''Om namnbyten och namnlagar i Sverige'' Rolf Linde (1994)] available as pdf: [https://riksarkivet.se/Sve/Arkivhistorier/dokbilder/2003/surnames.pdf at Riksarkivet] * [http://www.hhogman.se/namnlagar-sverige.htm Hans Högman om ''Namnlagar i Sverige''] * [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namnlagen Namnlagen (sv.wikipedia.org)] and [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubbelnamn_(efternamn) Dubbelnamn (efternamn) (sv.wikipedia.org)] * [http://riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/lag-20161013-om-personnamn_sfs-2016-1013 Lag (2016:1013) om personnamn] at riksdagen.se

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] =Nature based family names= As people in Sweden started abandoning patronymics and adopting family names a great many of those names were based on nature - trees, rocks, forests and streams. On this page we have only scratched the surface of the topic. This process took off in the 19th century, in the context of urbanization and industrialization. Many of those nature-based names had already been in use for more than a hundred years, but as long as they were not names of families introduced in the House of Nobility, they were free for anyone to adopt. (see WikiTree page [[Space:Swedish_Name_Laws|name laws in Sweden]]) Presumably you didn't want to have the same name as your neigbour - but you probably didn't check if the name was alredy used in the next county. ==Lindberg== There is an article at SCB, listing the ten most common composite and the ten most common one-part nature based surnames in 2014.[http://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/artiklar/2015/De-naturliga-efternamnen/ De naturliga efternamnen] at SCB (National Bureau of Statistics) The most common first part of a composite is Lind- and the most common second part is -berg - and so the most common composite nature surname today is '''Lindberg''' with 27 600 carriers in Sweden 2014.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[Category: Svensk adel]] === Swedish nobility and their names === '''Introduction:''' Sweden Medieval time covers the years 1000-1523 according to the Swedish National Encyclopedia. For profiles before the Middle Ages, [[Help:Name_Fields_for_European_Aristocrats|the rules of EuroAristo]] must also be taken into account. In the Alsnö Charter of 1279 "frälse" is mentioned and frälse later became the nobility. At the time the first "frälse" men got their privileges they used exclusively patronymic names. When given the privileges they also received a coat of arms with heraldic symbols and from these symbols nobility much later began to form their family names. * [[:Category: Swedish Nobility|Swedish nobility house by house]] Swedish noble families/houses existed long before their family name started being used as surnames. [[Eriksson-1486|Gustav Vasa]] most probably never called himself “Gustav Vasa”, but “Gustav Eriksson of the House Vasa”, at least before he became king in 1523. Sometime during the second half of the 1500s, one can find nobility who pioneered the use of the house name as a surname, the very earliest individual evidence is from 1540. But not all started using the family's surname at the same time. The family Natt och Dag (Night and Day), which is perhaps the oldest Swedish knight's family, had a split shield in black and white already in the early Middle Ages but they didn’t call themselves by the family name until descendants were forced to start using Natt och Dag in the 1700s. Before the 1600s, the noble names was also combined with the patronymic, eg [[Bonde-104|Claes Ulfsson Bonde]]. His patronymic was Ulfsson (son of Ulf) and the name of the family was Bonde. You can sometimes also see references to geographic locations in the mentioning of a person in a document, such as Claes Ulfsson Bonde af Säfstaholm. When The House of Nobility was established in the 1600s (in 1626 the first “riddarhusordning” was established) noble families eventually started using the family name as their last name and let go of the patronymic system. During the 1700s it became common with the additions "von" and "af" (of) in the noble names, examples are Carl von Linné or Henrik af Klintberg. The word after “von” or "af" is usually the name of a geographical place. === Proposal === The following is the proposed standard by the Sweden project on how the nobility surname may be written in different time periods (if one is to be as accurate as possible). '''0000-1523'''
The profiles should have patronymic as LNAB. What they were known as, e.g. “Erik Läspe och lame” (Erik (the) lisp and lame) is written in the "Other nicknames". If you do not know the LNAB, please use "Unknown" See also EuroAristos rules. '''1523-1625'''
Use patronymic as LNAB, the family name mentioned only in the biography (??) '''1626 - 1901'''
Use family name as LNAB. Please add patronymic in the "Middle name field" in order to distinguish between different generations of the same name and surname. Sources used to base the above suggestions: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=3993&artikel=5548852 https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svenska_adels%C3%A4tter http: // www .hhogman.se / namnskick_sv.htm # xl_Adel === Adeln och deras namn === Intro: För profiler före medeltiden måste även hänsyn tas till EuroAristos regler. Sveriges medeltid avser åren 1000-1523 enligt Nationalencyklopedin. I Alsnö stadga år 1279 stadsfästes “frälset” som senare kom att bli adeln. Då stormännen fick sina privilegier som frälse användes enbart patronymikon. I samband med sina privilegier erhöll de även en vapensköld med en heraldisk symbol. Från dessa symboler började adeln långt senare bilda sina släktnamn. Svenska adliga ätter existerade långt innan deras familjenamn börjar användes som efternamn. Gustav Vasa kallade sig tex förmodligen aldrig Gustav Vasa utan Gustav Eriksson av ätten Vasa, åtminstone innan han blev kung 1523. Någon gång under andra hälften av 1500-talet kan man hitta adel som börjat använda sig av ättens/släktens namn som efternamn, det allra tidigaste enskilda beviset är från 1540. Dock började inte alla använda ättens/släktens som efternamn samtidigt. Ätten Natt och Dag till exempel (kanske Sveriges äldsta riddarsläkt) förde redan under tidig medeltid en delad sköld i svart och vitt men de kallade sig inte Natt och Dag förrän sentida ättlingar blev tvingade att börja använda detta familjenamn under 1700-talet. Före 1600-talet var de adliga namnen dessutom kombinerade med bärarens patronymikon, t.ex. [[Bonde-104|Claes Ulfsson Bonde]]. Hans patronymikon är Ulfsson och namnet på ätten är Bonde. Man kan också se hänvisningar till geografiska platser i namngivningen av en person i ett dokument, tex Claes Ulfsson Bonde af Säfstaholm. När Riddarhuset inrättas på 1600-talet (år 1626 utfärdades den första riddarhusordningen) börjar adelsätterna att använda ättens/familjens namn som efternamn och släpper patronymikonsystemet. Under 1700-talet blev det vanligt med tillägget "von" och "af" i de adliga namnen, t.ex. Carl von Linné eller Henrik af Klintberg. Ordet efter "von" eller "af" är normalt namnet på en ort, gård eller liknande. === Förslag === Nedan följer de förslag till standard för Sverige-projektet om hur adelns efternamn kan skrivas under olika tidsepoker (om man skall vara så korrekt som möjligt). '''0000-1523'''
Profilerna bör ha patronymikon som LNAB. Eventuellt binamn, (tex Erik Läspe och halte) skrivs i fältet för “Other nicknames”. Vet man inte LNAB används “Unknown” Se även EuroAristos regler. '''1523-1625'''
Som LNAB anges patronymikon, ättens namn anges i biografin(??) '''1626-1901'''
Som LNAB anges ättens/familjens namn. Patronymikon anges i fältet för “Middle name” för att kunna särskilja olika generationer med samma för- och efternamn.

[[Category: Swedish Names]] [[:Category: Swedish Names|More about Swedish names]] = Swedish soldier names for enlisted soldiers = While most of the farming population of Sweden still used patronymic names very late in time, up towards 1900, the sons that became soldiers in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_system allotment system] were assigned surnames as they were enrolled. This page aims to explain the naming practices for enlisted soldiers. Officers usually were nobility, or at least followed naming patterns more in line with the nobility. ==The soldier did not own his surname== The most important fact about the Swedish soldier names is that these names were not the personal property of the soldier, and thus they were not inheritable. The name belonged to the numbered position in the company, and served the purpose to make each soldier easy to identify and command during drills and wartime duty. When one soldier died or was dismissed, the next soldier was given the same name, as a general rule. So, having the same name does not prove they were related. When the name corresponding to a given number was changed, as occasionally happened, the new name seems to have replaced the old one permanently. A soldier that was honourably dismissed usually kept his soldier name until he died. This does make you a bit suspicious about the ones who went back to their patronymic. (They were not necessarily black sheep, but you wonder.) == Soldiers' names as Last Name at Birth== '''The fact that soldier names were assigned upon enrollment means that the soldier was not born with this name.''' You should be cautious about assigning these names as Last Name at Birth, since in most cases a soldier was born with a patronymic rather than a family surname. Unfortunately it can be quite hard to figure out who was the father of a soldier when he is only in the church records with his children as Johan Krut, never as Johan Andersson Krut, as an example. It does not make for easier going that soldiers often came from a neighbouring parish. Soldiers who came from a family with an actual family name, like, for example, a smith family were also, as a rule, assigned the soldier name linked to their number in the company. (As with any rule there are exceptions). You should also be cautious about assigning the soldier's name to his children as LNAB. The 19th century, however, was a major period of transition in Swedish naming practices and many children did use their father's soldier name as they moved from home. In any case, sources are paramount. == Which names are soldier's names?== Since the soldier name served the purpose to make each soldier easy to identify and command during drills and wartime duty the names were often short and catchy, often warlike: Lans (lance), Svärd (sword), Skott (shot), Pil (arrow), Krut (gunpowder), Dolk (dagger) and so on. A company was about 150 men, so there would be 150 different names. Some of them could be in use in the next company of the same regiment (where they would not be confusing the orders). Different regiments had different habits of name choice; some could be very inventive. Apart from the short and snappy names like Stolt (proud), Stark (strong), Glad (merry) and Frisk (healthy) there would also be names of the typical Swedish composite kind, based on features of nature and/or location names like Bergström or Vetterskog. This latter type was also frequently adopted by the common folk as they went to town or became industrial workers; these are, of course not as easily recognized as soldier's names when that is what they are. == A case study of infantry soldiers== The fourteen numbered positions for the [[Space:Skinnskatteberg_allotment_soldiers|allotment soldiers in Skinnskatteberg parish]] - infantry soldiers in ''Bergs Kompani'', ''Västmanlands Regemente'' - are fairly typical as soldier's names. There are the short snappy ones: Falk, Kvist, Holm, Frisk, Svan, Berg, Uggla, Kuse, Bark, Björk, Brun, Konstig and the composite ones: Alström, Lindgren, Forsman, Bergström, Ramström, Björnberg, Blomfält, Östman. There is one location based name, Wetterskog. Most of the positions have had at least one name change in the 200 years covered. From the way these name changes were written into the muster rolls, it seems as if they mostly occurred on request from the soldier (in this regiment ). The case of [[Ramberg-46|Petter Björnbom]] illustrates the fact that names belonged with the number and the soldier's croft rather than the soldier himself. He started out as #58 Holm, but was replaced on that number during his absence as a prisoner of war in Pomerania, so that when he returned he was transferred to #63 Björnbom. The case of [[Jansson-985|Henrik Jansson Falk]] is one of the cases illustrating the fact that soldier sons did not automatically get the father's soldier name. He had two soldier sons: [[Henriksson-370|Erik Henriksson Björnbom]] and [[Henriksson-369|Henrik Henriksson Brun]]. ==Sources== * Experience with Swedish genealogy will sooner or later familiarize the researcher with the principles for soldier names. Primary records - church records and military records - are available as scanned images at [https://sok.riksarkivet.se/specialsok Riksarkivet SVAR] (free of charge) and [https://www.arkivdigital.se/ Arkiv Digital] (subscription site). * The article by Ingela Martenius on ''Swedish Names and Naming Conventions'', available in pdf format at the [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Genealogy Sweden page of FamilySearch Wiki], is very good, and contains a section on soldier names. * If you suspect that you have found an ancestor with a soldier name you should do a search in [https://www.soldatreg.se/sok-soldat/ Soldatregistret]. The database is extensive but not entirely complete. There is also the caveat that some soldier names are also surnames for families who were never soldiers.

Back to [[:Project: Sweden]] == Templates and stickers used on Swedish profiles == ==== Sweden Project Box ==== : The '''Sweden project box''', as can be seen below, is a template that '''should only be used on profiles that have Sweden Project as manager'''. *The Project Box should only be added by the Managed Profiles Team and/or Nordic Project Leadership Team. {{Sweden}} ---- === 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 Sweden ==== {{Unsourced|Sweden}} : The Unsourced template, shown above, can be used for Swedish profiles to be added automatically to the [[:Category: Sweden, Unsourced Profiles ]]. : Please add {{Unsourced|Sweden}} 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. ---- ==== Sweden Sticker ==== {{Sweden Sticker}} : The [[Template:Sweden_Sticker|Sweden Sticker]] is to be used on profiles who lived and died in Sweden. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{Sweden Sticker}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Swedish Roots Sticker ==== {{Swedish Roots}} : The [[Template:Swedish_Roots|Swedish Roots sticker]] may be used for any non-resident of Sweden who has been identified as having Swedish ancestry, including active WikiTree members. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{Swedish Roots}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Swedish Notables ==== {{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: Sweden, Notables]]. : It can be used on a profile by adding {{Notables Sticker|Sweden, Notables}} It should always be added below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading. ---- ==== Swedish Nobility ==== {{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 ==== {{Migrating Ancestor |origin= Sweden |destination= Minnesota, USA |origin-flag= Swedish_Flags-41.png |destination-flag= US_Flags-20.png }} : The migrating sticker can be used on the profiles of Swedish emigrants (or immigrants).

[[Category:Swedish Immigration]] [[Category: Swedish Projects]] [[Category:Walloons in Sweden]] ==Background== The '''Walloons in Sweden''' are descendants of Walloon smiths, immigrated mainly in the first half of the 17th century. There is a good number of Walloon families in Sweden that have numerous descendants still carrying the family name today. There will also be a good number of name-carrying Walloon descendants who were caught up in the great wave of emigration in the 19th century. Other lines lost the Walloon name within a few generations, either by the male line being broken or because they left the craft and were absorbed into the Swedish patronymic system. In WikiTree the category '''Walloons in Sweden''' should be used only for profiles that carry the family name. Please check that the name is marked with a V (or an F) in the [https://vallon.se/slaktlista/ Släktlista med släktnummer (Family list with family number)] at [https://vallon.se/ Sällskapet Vallonättlingar (The Walloon Descendants Society)] ==Resources== Walloon descent has been of great interest for Swedish genealogists for a long time.
