Sometimes reading a name in a record can be challenging. Other times you can read the name but may not be sure of the gender (based on the name alone).<br> In the 1980s the Genealogical Society of Utah published a book called ''Scandinavian Records Extraction: An Instructional Guide,'' which included a list of 4,562 Nordic given names. Each given name has either the letter '''f''' (for female) or '''m''' (for male) to indicate the gender. Below is a copy of that list and names which have been added as they have been found in &nbsp;the records. Because it is a long list, you might want to use the Ctrl-F function to go directly to the section you need.
