==Extracts from Church Books [''Utdrag ur Ministerialböcker'']== | |||
Beginning in 1860 records of births, marriages, and deaths were extracted from all the parish church books in the province. These were compiled yearly and sent to the Central Bureau of Statistics [''Statistiska Centralbyrån'']. They are a primary source of birth, marriage, and death information in Sweden in lieu of the original records. They identify names of parents and also provide place of residence. As they are extracts from the parish registers the information they contain is not as complete as the original parish register entry. | Beginning in 1860 records of births, marriages, and deaths were extracted from all the parish church books in the province.
