<br> The pastorat, sometimes called prästgäll is made up of one, two or more parishes (församling)depending on the circumstances. The parish that the pastor lives in is called the mother parish or moderförsamling. The other parish(es)is called the annex parish or annexförsamling. Sometimes the parish records of the whole pastorat would be kept in one book, other times there is a separate book for each parish.

The pastorat, sometimes called prästgäll is mad up of oneor sometimes two or a few more parishes (församling). In the latter case the parish in which the vicar resides is named the mother parish (moderförsamling), while the other parish(es)is called the annex parish (annexförsamling). Sometimes the records of the whole pastorat would be kept as one, wherefore it is good to check the records of the moderförsamling for persons living in the annexförsamling.
While you are searching for your ancestors in the parish records, you should find out:
