Anyone can help with the writing of place name on the parish pages. The Swedish User Group is working through the counties systematically. Participants help by looking up a household examination index from about 1840 (through [http://www.svar.ra.se/ SVAR], [http://www.genline.com/ Genline]&nbsp;(now available through [http://www.ancestry.com/ Ancestry.com]), [http://www.arkivdigital.se/ Arkiv Digital], or from microfilm) and then type the names of the places onto the parish page in the FamilySearch Wiki. To see a good example of a well developed place list on a parish page see: [https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Bj%C3%B6rnlunda_parish,_Sweden Björnlunda parish, Sweden].<br>

5. Type the place names in alphabetical order with a comma between each one. Spell the place names '''exactly''' as you see them in the place index. Use your best judgement when there is some redundancy. Write them in '''correct Swedish alphabetical order''', using the correct Swedish letters of Å, Ä, and Ö. To learn more about the alphabetical order and how to type in these letters see the article Sweden: [[Sweden: Type the letters Å, Ä, and Ö|Type the letters Å, Ä, and Ö]]. <br>

6. Scroll down to the References section and add your source citation. We are doing this by typing in the name of the parish, the word Husförhörslängd with the span of years that you used as your source, followed by the word Ortregister. For example: '''Björnlunda, Husförhörslängd 1846-1850, Ortregister'''. If there was no ortregister and you created the list by typing the names at the top of each page in the Husförhör, then leave the word Ortregister off.
