The Common Room / Re: What Country is your research ?
« on: Thursday 18 March 10 13:15 GMT (UK) »
My interest is emigrants, in a very general way. That is to say I don't do specific research about my own relatives, but am involved in a project to create guides for Swedish researchers. As might be suspected these guides would be used if and when someones research cross a border, in this case to Ireland or England. I have been working on this for a couple of months now, using the net to find archives, forums and other poi about several European countries.
Of course my documentation must be limited to entry points to
research in your countries, perhaps adding some general ideas about how to continue.
This became a long story about a small thing, but, since you have read this far maybe I may ask for the favor of some general hints on how to begin searching for emigrants; more specific - people leaving England/Ireland for Sweden.
I think I am beginning to catch some of the archives system, but there may be other aspects on the above.
Anyway, this seem to be an interesting forum !
