With the Constitution of 1634, each Swedish Province turned over its civil authority to a County administration (called ''Län'' in Swedish). Through the years some counties were added and others were dissolved. The above map represents the county structure as it was sometime around 1950. This also matches the county structure used for the Swedish Record Collection in FamilySearch. See [[History of Swedish Counties]] and [[Swedish County Letters|Swedish County Letter Abbreviations]] for more information.

=== Provinces ===
It's not uncommon that immigrants referred to their origin in Sweden by the name of their province (''landskap''). For more information, see [[Sweden Jurisdictions]].
=== Parishes ===
Sweden counties are comprised of a series of parishes. If the parish name is known, use the [[Sweden: Parish Listing|Parish List]] or [[Swedish Parish Pages|Parish Pages (Alphabetical Order)]] to locate the parish wiki page.
