For anyone who died after 1991, their file can be ordered easily. In Sweden, these records are easy to obtain. <br> The simplest route to discover when one’s relative died is to search the Swedish Death Book from 1901-2009.<br> When an entry is found in the Swedish Death Book, it is very simple to order a copy of this record. One merely needs to write to the archive below. A [[Sweden Skatteverket Sample Letters|sample letter]] is available. The letter can be written in English and easily sent through email. It might take a few weeks for a reply. Do not send a repeat email until after a month with no response to your query, as this is a free service provided by the Skatteverket office. <br> Each [[Skatteverket]] archive is organized by modern day municipality. Multiple parishes are organized on the municipality (kommune) level. A list of municipalities with their parishes can be found on the [http://www.skatteverket.se/folkbokforing/sverigesforsamlingargenomtiderna/kommunvis.4.18e1b10334ebe8bc8000169.html Skatteverket website.] Choose the appropriate archive for where your relative died from the following list: ==== <br>Norra Regionen ==== Jämtland, Norrbottens, Västerbotten and Västernorrland norrland@skattevarket.se ==== <br>Mittregionen ==== Dalarna, Gävleborg, Värmland, and Örebro.
