In compliance with the Royal ordinance of Aug. 6, 1894<ref> Wiki-Rötter, Församlingsbok </ref> the ''Husförhörslängd'' was replaced with a new record called a ''församlingsbok'' (congregation book or parish book). Like the husförhör, this book was used to register all the people who resided in a parish, but without the religious emphasis. At this time the notation of when a person took communion and how well they did on the catechal examination was removed. They still noted if a person was christened and confirmed. You will also see the names of all the household members with their birth, marriage, death, and moving information.
