Swedish weblinks

[Katie]

I have a relative that I believe was born in Sweden and am wondering if anyone would know of weblinks that are similar to Hiski and that I could access online. It would be so helpful if I could find an online access that would translate into English. Even if it was in Swedish, I think my translating softwares may be abe to translate for me. You know we Americans have a hard enough time learning our own language let alone a second language and that is why we depend so heavily on your help and appreciate what you do to help us.
Thank You
Janice

Hi, some search pages you might try (free resources):

1. "Databas för släktforskning" (by Föreningen Släktdata)
http://www.slaktdata.org/index.php/regsearch
Not all the parishes or their books are included (see "Registerlista")

2. "Släktforskarens Google" by ScanGen (Skånsk Släktforskning)
http://www.scangen.se/personsok.php?hel ... start=true

This is a search engine, which uses multiple search pages that you can select on/off on the seach page (bottom of page). Note that Släktdata is already included in the sources. Familysearch too.

Thank you so much for getting back to me on my question. I'll check into these links you sent me. One more question. This website, phpBB, is extremely helpful for our searches and all the people that help us are so helpful and valuable to us getting our information. Is there a comprable website in Sweden where one may submit questions?

Thanks again for the weblinks you sent me

Ok, I think the best known genealogy forum in Sweden is the Anbytarforum.

Thank you, taltta for the link. I can work with that site, but I LIKE this one BETTER. I'm used to the format and all of you kind people helping me.
Have a nice week.

Hi, there is an additional search source called "Indiko" (Ecclesiastical registers on the net). If you don't mind using Java, then that might work for you. http://rystad.ddb.umu.se/indiko/index_en.html

When the Java installations are ok, and you *agree to conditions of use (of Indiko) you can get an applet to work. The applet shows the search databases. BRs, taltta

P.S. *each session

Thank you, taltta for this link. I do have Java installed in my computer and will look at it this afternoon.
I appreciate your help.

I was able to bring up the link, but unfortunately I can not get it to translate or display in English. I can see where information can be entered such as names and dates, but there is no toolbar that shows on the link where I can translate. Any ideas on how to resolve this.

In the Java applet menu, choose "Inställningar" / "Språk" / "English". Tried it just now and it *worked.

P.S. * at least when using latest Firefox browser 23.0.1.

So Firefox is the key. I have that but was using I.E. I'll switch over and try it again.
Thank you for the advice.
