====''Research Your Swedish Heritage Using Arkiv Digital'' (Kathy Meade)====
====''What's New in Arkiv Digital'' (Kathy Meade)====
 
Learn how to research your Swedish heritage using ArkivDigital. This class will
show the wealth and variety of Swedish historical records that are available in
ArkivDigital. The presentation will demonstrate how to research one’s Swedish
ancestry by searching and viewing church books, military records, passenger ship
manifests and other records using a case study. '''[[Media:ResearchYourSwedishHeritageUsingArkivDigital 2016.pdf|Class Handout]]'''

Place names everywhere! Whether it’s a household record, moving record, or the place of birth, we see place names all the time in Swedish records. The challenge is interpreting what it is, where it is, and where do we go next? This presentation will offer 12 steps to figure out place names for Swedish genealogy.

===='' Using Name Searchable Registers in Arkiv Digital'' (Kathy Meade)====


Learn about the name searchable registers in ArkivDigital. Learn how to use the
=== 1:15- 2:15pm ===
new name searchable registers for the household/congregation records between
1880-1920 and population registers for 1950 and 1960. Discover other name
registers for older church books using registers within the register archive and
name registers for city parishes. The presentation will focus primarily on showing
how to use name registers for church books but name registers for estate
inventories and tax records will also be highlighted. '''[[Media:Using Name Searchable Registers in ArkivDigital 2016.pdf|Class Handout]]'''

==== Swedish Naming Customs (Geoffrey Morris AG®) ====
====''Parish Record Substitution'' (Geoffrey Fröberg Morris, AG®)====


In Swedish genealogy we use the household records, birth, marriage, death and moving in / out records the most.  But what if you search all those sources and still don’t find what you’re looking for? What do you do if there are gaps in the records or a parish record collection was destroyed? This class will focus on finding information when the mainstream strategies fail.

====''MIlitary Records in Arkiv Digital (Kathy Meade)''====
=== 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm ===
====''Introduction to Swedish Estate Inventories'' (Kathy Meade)====
 
The Swedish estate inventories (bouppteckningar) are usually the next set of
Swedish documents, following the church books that one accesses to gain a better
understanding of one’s Swedish ancestor’s life. The estate inventory, similar to a
probate record, provides genealogical information as well as detailing all the assets
and debts of the deceased’s estate. The class will focus on how to quickly identify
the genealogical information in an estate inventory without knowing Swedish as
well as identifying additional resources for working with these records. '''[[Media:Introduction to Estate Inventories.pdf|Class Handout]]'''

====''Migration, Travel papers, and Government Inns in Sweden'' (Geoffrey Fröberg Morris, AG®)====
====''Probate Laws and Records for Swedish Genealogy'' (Geoffrey Morris, AG®)====
 
Most people who do Swedish genealogy know about the moving -in or -out records that were created by the parish priest. You might not know that the county (or city) also issued travel papers under certain conditions. We will also discuss the government inn system and the migration patterns within the kingdom of Sweden over time.

The Swede’s have a rich history of record keeping. The challenge is knowing what records exist and how to find them. This presentation will explain Swedish church, civil, and judicial administration between the mid-1600’s and up to about 1900. We’ll look at each jurisdictional structure and the records they kept. With this knowledge, you will be able to search beyond the regular strategies in church records. '''[[:Media:Jurisdictions for Swedish Genealogy 2016.pdf|Class Handout]]'''
