This database contains family-linked records for all kinds of smiths in Sweden. It contains over 200,000 individuals born between 1560 and 1930. The information comes from a variety of sources and should be considered a secondary source. While some sources are provided, it is not without error and each family should be checked for accuracy. | This database contains family-linked records for all kinds of smiths in Sweden.
