Right now, the cemeteries in Sweden are lit up by lanterns. It's All Saints' Day, an official holiday in Sweden. Today is a day to remember those who are gone. If we can, we make a visit visit to their graves and light a candle. I love to see the graves lit up all at once. A sign of our love for those who are dead. According to Nordiska Museet, this holiday was first introduced in 1198. The practice to light candles on this day began in the late 19th century, taking off after WW2. What are your traditions for caring for your family's graves? PS.

Have you noticed that any of your Swedish ancestor

Have you noticed that any of your Swedish ancestors moved in the mid 1800s? For a few of mine, the moves have been noticeable. Like Lars. His family were tenant farmers for generations. They lived in a big house in the middle of the village. Lars captured a murder once, and it’s said that he was a sheriff. When Lars was 50, his family moved to a cottage at the edge of the forest. He lived as a crofter and a pauper in three cottages before he died at the age of 84 in 1883. Nothing in the regular records, the household records, explains what happened. Sometimes the notes will tell about a circumstances like a decease, but not this time. But there are more sources. The records from the last land partition, laga skifte, can be read at Lantmäteriet. (Link in bio!) It says that most of the farms were emptied at the partition. The families from the village were moved to cottages around the parish. Back to the household records, they show how the village was eventually deserted. That explains the move. But this story doesn't end here. The villagers were tenants, so they didn’t have the same rights as land owners. But those who left the village were granted hay from the village land ”for as long as the houses stand.” A book from the local historic society tells the story of what happened one winter night. The land owner gathered all the timber from the deserted houses in the village. He drove it to the lake and left it on the ice. And he was free of his obligation. The book says that when the water is low, you can still see the pile from the old houses in the lake. Yes, you can. I’ve seen it. Family history can be so much more than collecting dates and place names. You just have to know where to look. #findaswedegenealogy #genealogyisfun #historynerd #historygram #swedishhistory #familyhistory #swedishheritage #genealogist #ancestryresearch #familyhistoryresearch

🇸🇪 Swedish is not a hair color. 🇸🇪 It's 2021. I didn't think this had to be said. In just a few days I've seen the same stereotype about blonde Swedes repeated from opposite sides. One is frankly stupid, the other is heartbreaking. So let's set things straight. There are 100% ethnic Swedes of every hair color. Your blonde hair is not a hint of Scandinavian ancestry. Your dark hair does not negate your Swedish heritage. #ancestry #familyhistory #unlimitedscandinavia #knowyourroots #genealogy #familytree #cultureshock #findaswedegenealogy #scandinavia #familyhistorian #swedishancestry #smallbusinesswomen #swedishhistory #europeans

Glad midsommar! Swedes celebrate Midsummer's Eve today. Always on a Friday since 1953. Midsummer marks the longest day of the year. But what's the big deal with that? Check out the photos I took last night, at a quarter to eleven. Bright as day. The flowers are still awake, soaking up the last bit of light from the sun. :) #swedishhisory #findaswedegenealogy #midsummer #svenskmidsommar #midsommar #familyhistory #swedenimages #genealogy #genealogistsofinstagram #genealogist #loves_sweden #familyhistorian #magnificentscandinavia
