| == Record Finder Table for Sweden ==
| |
| The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.
| |
| === Order of Records ===

However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.
