 Marjorie Kraus taught this class on the Swedish research website that is available for free at FamilySearch Centers or within reach of the Liahona Wifi network.

-''ArkivDigital'' is the largest private provider of Swedish church records and other historical records online. Besides the usual church records, they also have prison records, residential records, military records, estate inventories, boatswain records, household records (like census and now called congregation records), moving in and out records, mantals tax records, catechetical records, and city court records. These records go back to the 1600s (much earlier than ''FamilySearch'') and up to the 1860s. There is also a blog that includes updates and other goodies such as a table of keyboard shortcuts on how to type special characters.

 If you'd rather purchase ''ArkivDigital'', they have a variety of options, including a free 24-hour trial, a 1-month subscription for $38, $193 for an annual subscription, and a beginner's package for $96 that includes a 3-month subscription and the book ''Explore Your Swedish Heritage''.
-Kraus also recommended visiting the ''FamilySearch'' wiki to look for more Swedish records since they go up to the 1960s. Also, the wiki has a lot of tips including how to read Swedish handwriting and a Swedish genealogy vocabulary list.

-She closed with a tip that helps her in adding sources to ''FamilyTree'' and other genealogy programs. It is a website called recordseek.com. When you go to the website, there will be a note that explains how to install a browser extension by dragging the green '''recordseek''' button to your browser's bookmark bar. Then whenever you are on a webpage that you want to add as a source to a family member's entry, just go to the source webpage and click the recordseek bookmark. You will get a window asking what genealogy service you want to add the source to, and you will need to log in and complete the information about what family member to add the source to. If you are saving the source to a family member in ''FamilyTree'', you can click the family member's ID number which will automatically copy it, so that all you have to do is right-click in the field for the ID number and it will paste the ID number for you without you having to write it down and retype it.
