It is noted the Mantalslängder are being put online at the Swedish Genline site - so those with a subscription or access to that could search them there. Digital copies of mantalslängder from 1642 to 1820 are available at SVAR, a subscription website that is part of Riksarkivet, the Swedish National Archives. Otherwise, the lists from early to @1860 have been microfilmed by FamilySearch.org and are available to search at the main Family History Library in Salt Lake City, or, via order to the more than 4,500 FamilySearch Family History Centers around the world. To find the FHL film number for each year's list, go to [http://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org] >name of county>taxation. | It is noted the Mantalslängder are being put online at the Swedish Genline site - so those with a subscription or access to that could search them there.

On the first page for the subject heading of ''taxation'' for each county, the FamilySearch Catalogatalog lists the names of all the ''härads ''which belong to that county, then the parishes which belong to each härad.

Then comes the listing for the tax years. For each year, a film number is given, then, in parentheses, the page number on which that härad's tax lists begin for that year. From 1658 to @1705 each extant years' list was microfilmed. From @1705, lists were filmed and/or are only available every 5 years. It is possible the Swedish National Archives still has the original yearly lists from 1705, if indeed they were taken. (INSERT COPY OF CATALOG ENTRY) | ||
If there are no page numbers listed for individual parishes within the härad, just look very carefully from the first page of the härad thru the double sided book until you find your parish. A new parish listing could begin at the top, middle, or bottom of a page. Once you locate your parish, note the names of the parish immediately before it, and immediately after it. That is because the parishes were generally located in the same order in each year's tax list - so you can more easily find it after the initial search. | If there are no page numbers listed for individual parishes within the härad, just look very carefully from the first page of the härad thru the double sided book until you find your parish.

Some tax lists have supplemental pages to them, which almost act like a clerical survey record in the information that they give. If, in the FHL listings you see two page numbers listed for a particular härad, the second one is often the supplemental page.

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.
