: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.” Its headquarters are located in the former National Archives of Stockholm, with the address: Genealogiska Föreningen, Arkivgatan 3, S-111 28 Stockholm, Sweden. Total membership runs over 5,000, scattered in all of Sweden. A list of the names and addresses of the association members are published now and then in its quarterly magazine ''Släkt och Hävd'' (Family and Origin). | |||
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 FHLC numbers to Släktnamnsregistret are as follows: | |||
Aab-Bot -- # 383557<br>Bou-Ehr -- # 383558<br>Eic-Grö -- #383559<br>Gua-Kio -- #383560<br>Inb-Loo -- #3 83561<br>Loo-Rip -- #383562<br>Rua-Smi -- #383563<br>Smi-Utt -- #383564<br>Vac-Ött -- #383565 | |||
<br>The call number to Geografiska registret is #383566. An index of authors of genealogical literatures is listed under the call Number #383565.<br> | |||
