General Scandinavian Resources

• LDS Family History Library Catalog Place Search - search by county or province as well as country to see what has been filmed
  
  
• Make certain you search the LDS IGI as a very large percentage of the Scandinavian parish registers have been abstracted here. Use the pull down window on the search to find your region (ie Sweden, Norway etc.)
  
  
• If your family was in the U.S. by 1880 remember there is an everyname index to the 1880 census at the LDS FamilySearch.com.  In the pull down menu choose 1880 U.S. Census and put in your names.  If you don't get the result you want try searching by another family member or not limiting your search terms by putting in too much information
