+The Genealogical Association of Sweden (Genealogiska Föreningen) was founded in 1933 and has as its objective “the promotion of Swedish genealogical research and the creating of interest for the same.” Total membership runs over 2000, scattered in all of Sweden. Its quarterly magazine was named ''Släkt och Hävd'' (Family and Origin), but ceased publication in 2004.
+The magazine was started in 1934 under the name of ''Genealogiska Föreningens Månadsblad.'' In 1950 the name was changed to the present title. Every number contains a list of additions to the association's archive, many of them being more or less elaborate family genealogies just published.
+The association has a large index of family names, Släktnamnsregistret, and a geographical index, Geografiska registret, divided into provinces (landskap), cities (städer) and districts (härader, tingslag, skeppslag or bergslag).
+Both indexes are microfilmed and the FamilySearch Catalog numbers to Släktnamnsregistret are as follows:
+Aab-Bot&nbsp; --&nbsp; # 383557<br>Bou-Ehr --&nbsp; &nbsp;# 383558<br>Eic-Grö -- &nbsp;#383559<br>Gua-Kio -- &nbsp;#383560<br>Inb-Loo --&nbsp; &nbsp;#3 83561<br>Loo-Rip --&nbsp;&nbsp;#383562<br>Rua-Smi -- &nbsp;#383563<br>Smi-Utt -- &nbsp;#383564<br>Vac-Ött --&nbsp;#383565<br>The call number to Geografiska registret is #383566.
