Post-1895 church records are now mostly moved to the Provincial Archives of the area. Each archives has a section on their website, called ''Folkbokföring'', where you might find a list of the records transferred to the archive. Parishes may also have earlier records on microform. You can write to local parishes for information. See [[Swedish Church Records|Swedish Church Records]]. | |||

== Inventories, Registers, Catalogs == | |||
Some archives have websites, catalogs, inventories, guides, or periodicals that describe their records and how to use them. If possible, study these guides before you visit or use the records of an archives so that you can use your time more effectively. The FamilySearch Library has some of these guides. They are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog under: | |||
