Celticcrafter,
Welcome to Rootschat! With your Swedish ancestors, you need to know where they came from, ideally a town/city/place or at least a county.
Frm there you can either access records through  ancestry or arkivsdigital. The latter has colour images, a bit easier on the eye.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Hi PineFamily, thanks for the welcome.  I actually work from Ancestry.  At the moment I am working on my Irish family but as soon as I get back to the swedes I'll give the digital archive site a go.  Thanks C  :)

No problems.
Post on here or PM me if you get into difficulty, or need advice on how to get around either site's Swedish records. There are a few tricks I can pass on to make it easier for you.

oh, and a Swedish dictionary wouldn't go astray either.  :)

My research has led me to Ireland.  I am a descendant of Joseph Matson whose father, George Matson,left Ireland for Canada. I attempted this search several years ago but gave up, fustrated by my inability to dig up any info, but thanks to the ever growing 'net', that has all changed.  I live in Canada and am thrilled to have found this site.

Hi there, Just a short note to welcome you to Rootschat.  I am just a beginner myself and I live in PA, USA.  So rootschat has become a very important part of my research as my side of the side are all from Ireland  Irish records can be hard to find but the lads & lassies on here are the best.  So best of luck with your research.  Regards Celticcrafter :)

The vast majority of my research for my husband's and my family history is in England, mostly Surrey, London (both sides of the river) and Norfolk. However, my paternal grandmother's father and family were from Scotland, and that's proving a little bit difficult as the first name and surname combination was very, very common. Even reducing the search to one small area, there are multiple possibilities. I suspect it won't be easy!

Thank you, Celticcrafter. I'll try to put a question or two together, but I can see me using the photo 'corrector' thread - very useful that will be!
