Husförhörslängder, Sweden: A Swedish word for clerical survey records. These were rolls kept in Sweden that list all members of a parish, their places of residence, and their knowledge of catechism. The Evangelical Lutheran Church passed a law in 1686 requiring ministers to keep these records. Some records exist for as early as 1700, but most start much later. From about 1820, surveys are available for most parishes. | Husförhörslängder, Sweden: A Swedish word for clerical survey records.
