You know when you buy groceries online and don't get quite what you want. The bag of potato chips is portion sized. You buy six peaches and get six crates of peaches. 😬 That's what happened when I bought my monitor. It basically takes up the whole office/living room/sewing room/library. We might have to move. But at least I can read the records really, really well. What's your worst online purchase mistake? #homesweetoffice #homeofficeideas #homeofficelife #genealogyresearch #familyhistorian #genealogynerd

This past weekend most of Sweden saw an aurora borealis. They are common in the very north of the country. But this time it showed even in the south. I live in the city, so I didn't even try looking. Too much light pollution. But they say there's another chance this weekend. I hope to catch it then. Have you ever seen an aurora? #swedenisfantastic #northernlight #genealogyblogger #swedish #exploresweden

Maps add so much understanding to your family hist

Maps add so much understanding to your family history. They can show how your ancestor moved during their life. And what the living conditions were. Nowadays we can even drop the yellow man on Google maps and walk around almost wherever we want. In Sweden, maps are quite easy to get. You can find historical maps through Lantmäteriet, a public authority. All for free. Check the link in my bio, Laga Skifte – How Sweden Changed Through Land Reforms. It shows you how to find and use these maps. When I do your research for you, I include custom maps. You'll see exactly where your ancestor lived. PS You'll also find all my geography resources linked in the bio. #ancestralknowledge #familystories #familyhistorymatters

You already know that Swedish surnames are kind of

You already know that Swedish surnames are kind of useless. At least when it comes to family history. Most Swedes in the 1800s had last names based on their father's name. Everyone had names like Andersson and Johansdotter. In fact, if you have Swedish roots, I can almost guarantee that you have an Andersson in your ancestry. Then you learn about the soldiers. They had to get a unique last name. Soldiers received a new name when they signed up. The names could be picked random at the will of an officer. Some soldiers got to pick their own name. Most common was that soldiers were named by the area where they served. Did you also know that some craftsmen and merchants took a modern looking last name? And no, you can still never assume that the rest of the family had the same name. I know it's tempting. Just don't do it, okay? What's an interesting name you've found in your ancestry? #genealogyresearch #familyheritage #familyhistorymatters #familyhistoryoninstagram #swedishtradition

Are you curious about your Swedish roots? If your

Are you curious about your Swedish roots? If your grandparents immigrated a hundred years ago or more, you may wonder about your personal history. Your family was busy building their new lives in a new country. Not much about your history was passed down. And along the way the memories from Sweden got lost. What was life like in Sweden for your family? Why did they decide to leave? How can you know what's real about Sweden? That's the type of question I help you answers. We go deep into the records and piece it together. So that you can understand your Swedish roots. #swedishheritage #genealogist #knowyourroots

I want you to know, I - and so many of my clients-

I want you to know, I - and so many of my clients- have been exactly where you are in searching for family. My passion for genealogy comes from the desire to help others not get caught in the same traps so many of us fall into. This is true for anyone that starts with genealogy. The Swedish language has changed so much in the last 200 years that many native Swedes can’t even understand the old texts. That’s where I want to help you! Through Let’s Find a Swede, we collaborate so that you can find your Swedish ancestor a little easier. You can read more about this program in the link in my bio!

Our heritage is part of who we are and I think everyone has the right to know their own background. In my family, like so many others, that has not always been the case. There were secrets and silence. But as time goes on, we have a chance to search for the truth. The Swedish genealogical records are extensive. So if that's where your secrets hide, you're lucky. That's why I've created Find a Swede. So that you can discover the truth about your background. Did you find out some surprising truths about your family background?
