Nordic Classes from the FamilySearch Library
There have been many classes from the Family History Library about genealogical research for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Nordic Countries in general. Most of these classes are in the FamilySearch Help Center. Some of them are not but the class handout is still available in the FamilySearch Wiki. You can sort each column by Country, Title, Presenter, or Year to find the topic that you are interested in. This page will be updated as new material is created.
