==== <br>'''How to cite sources for Swedish Church Records'''  ====


There are some good books written in great detail on how to cite sources, but basically when citing a source, you want to record all the information necessary so that anyone desiring to see the same document can do so easily. <br>There are many ways to view Church Records for Sweden – the originals kept at the provincial archives, microfilm at the FamilySearch Library or some family history centers, and scanned images through subscription websites such as Svar (https://riksarkivet.se/ ), and Arkivdigital (http://www.arkivdigital.se/ ). Each has their own system of numbering but there is one common element included in each system. That is the use of the “Church Archive Cataloging Plan” (Kyrkoarkiv:Förteckningsplan). It is good to include this in citing a source as it makes it easy to go from one source of church records to another.
