WikiProject: Swedish Place Names: Difference between revisions

Too often we see place names written in a Swedish record that we can't interpret. This might be due to a older style of handwriting, bleeding text, or damage to a record. Yet figuring out a place name is vital to documentation and strategy. Although there are multiple databases of Swedish place names, most of them are on C.d. that a person has to purchase (See Swedish Gazetteers.) The purpose of the Swedish Place Names WikiProject is to create a similar resource readily available and for free through the FamilySearch Wiki.
