Calling All Swedish Researchers!

Posted on March 28th, 2010 by Carol

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My mother’s paternal and maternal grandparents all emigrated from Sweden to the United States in the late 1800′s. The Molines went to Minnesota, and the Nordgrens (or Larsons if they were listed under their original name) were in Iowa for a short time.

With the help of a Great Uncle who was a member of the LDS church, our Nordgren family has been traced back to their roots in Halland to the villages of Landa and Veddige. The Moline family were from Örebro. A friend of mine who also does Swedish research sent me the link below. If any of you have success using this link, please let me know!

SWEDISH GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS. An ongoing project by the ROTTER
(roots). People are listed by province, parish, last and first names, occupation, and who else is there. [Submitted by DChrisLewis3292 AT aol.com] http://www.genealogi.se/gravsten/

Be forewarned, this site is all in Swedish. Yah, shure, ya betcha!

I wonder if it works the other way….helps Swedes to find relatives in the USA? Sounds promising, anyway!

Those mormons are responsible for all the ancestry records in the U.S . We used it to find information about my grandparents coming off ellis island new york.
