Depending upon the time period and the commonness of your ancestor's first and patronymic surname, Swedish tax lists or ''Mantalslängder ''can be used to prove continued residency, help singularly identify men with the same name, prove relationships, fill in for burned or missing church records, and extend a pedigree beyond the beginning of parish registers. | Depending upon the time period and the commonness of your ancestor's first and patronymic surname, Swedish tax lists or ''[[Swedish_Mantalslängd|Mantalslängder]] ''can be used to prove continued residency, help singularly identify men with the same name, prove relationships, fill in for burned or missing church records, and extend a pedigree beyond the beginning of parish registers. | ||
Some Swedish tax lists begin as early as 1620. Others don't begin until the mid 1650s. They are arranged by härad within the county. | Some Swedish tax lists begin as early as 1620. Others don't begin until the mid 1650s. They are arranged by härad within the county. | ||

The date a tax list was taken or at least compiled can be genealogically important. Look for that, as well as the signatures of the parish councilmen who affirmed the list was a "true record" at the end of the list. That information has also sometimes been found on the very last page of the lists belonging to that härad. | The date a tax list was taken or at least compiled can be genealogically important.
