There have always been children who needed to be cared for after one or both of their parents had passed away, or their remaining family could not meet thier needs. In medieval Sweden the monasteries, abbeys, and sanctuaries provided assistence for this need. After the reformation, the church took this role in both the cities and the rural areas until the 1600's. If you have an ancestor that was an orphan, finding their biological parents can be difficult. This article will help you understand how the orphanages came about, how they changed through the years, and introduce you to the records they left behind. | There have always been children who needed to be cared for after one or both of their parents had passed away, or their remaining family could not meet thier needs.
