I agree, you need to connect with some of the free Swedish mailing lists - I have been on
them for years. Everybody is very willing to help you. I found out so much information
on my family, I have been to Sweden 3 times! I started with the Swedestoo list back when
it first originated. They helped me find information on my family names from Gotland
& around Stockholm, Sweden - Carlsson (Karlsson), Carlqvist (Karlqvist), Stille,
Nordahl, Enequist, Gardelius, Jergander & many more.
A very good one is - swedestoo(a)smultron.com. Another one is - sweden(a)rootsweb.com. And
another one is - swedishgenealogyII(a)yahoogroups.com. I know with the Swedestoo group, you
have to send an e-mail, with just the word - Subscribe - in the body of the letter. The
owner of the list, will write back to you and tell you when you are connected to the
group. Then, you can write to the list and explain what information you are needing on
your family. Everybody gets to read your e-mail and normally somebody will be more than
glad to help you find your family information. You will also be able to read everybody
else's e-mails and hopefully, you may be able to help somebody else someday. Good
Luck! Jan
