Do you know if there is a website such as this for help with Swedish ancestry? In 1994 I tried finding my Swedish "roots" and ran into many brick walls. Finally gave up and have not had the heart to look again since then. Had I been given half the data about my distant relatives I received from the name on an old trunk I would have been thrilled!

Thank you again, for any help you can give me with this.

There is such a site, however it is not quite as easy to us as this site, (my opinion only). Click below and then click on the US flag. Try working with it and it could prove useful.

Thank you for the link lyndal40. Yikes! It is definitely not as easy to use as this site, but then not knowing any language other than English could be a big problem of mine!

Thank you again!
