Two New Resources from the Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies

The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies (Sveriges Släktforskarförbund) announced 2 fantastic resources will be available through their online bookstore on Nov. 25, 2020. The 1st is the Sweden 2000 Census (Sveriges befolkning). This database will contain everyone who was registered in a Swedish parish at the end of 2000, almost 8.9 million people. Perhaps your wondering how they can publish the 2000 census? It’s because the privacy laws in Sweden are focused on protecting sensitive information and a persons name and address are not deemed sensitive. The 2nd is a new book called Stockholmsforska (in Swedish) that will be focused on the records and strategies for research in Stockholm City.
