In early times it is common that all 3 Ministerial records were kept in one book called the church book (kyrkboken). Often you will find other records there too such as the [[Swedish Parish Administration Records (Sockenstämmoprotokoll)|Sockenstämmoprotokoll]] (a record of parish decisions and affairs), and the [[Swedish Church Accounts Record (Kyrkräkenskaper)|Kyrkoräkenskaper]] (a parish financial record). In some parishes you might find a [[Swedish Confirmation Records (Konfirmationslängder)|Konfirmationsbok]] (confirmation record) was kept. Eventually these records became separate books altogether. <br> | In early times it is common that all 3 Ministerial records were kept in one book called the church book (kyrkboken).

All of the original church books before 1895 have historically been kept by the Regional archives (the Landsarkiv). When there are gaps in the record collections of a parish, it is most likely that the original records did not survive (although it is always good to check the parish records for the parishes in the same [[Swedish Pastorat|pastorat]] to be sure.) | All of the original church books before 1895 have historically been kept by the Regional archives (the Landsarkiv).
