''For more commonly-seen words, see the '''[[Swedish Genealogical Word List]]'''''.
Some abbreviations (Förkortningar) used in the gazetteer Svenska Orter and Swedish Church Records.<br>
<br>


An abbreviation is a "shortened form of a written word or phrase that is used in the place of the whole."<ref>Merriam-Webster online at: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/abbreviation</ref> The practice of using abbreviations was conveniant for the author but not for the reader. Sometimes the abbreviation is a commonly used one that most people would recognize correctly. Other times it isn't clear, or may be be so obscure that nobody really knows except the author. Here are some abbreviations that you may come across in your Swedish family history research.:<br>
