Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota
Swedish Genealogical Resource sites on the Internet
- We are very happy to include a link to a new web site specializing in genealogical information about Sweden. The site name is "Sweden Genealogy Main Gate" or "SweGGate" for short. It is a member of the WorldGenWeb project at RootsWeb and a completely non-commercial, non-profit website. Dr. Fredrik Haeffner created the web site in Dec 2000 and today it has more than 500 pages and several thousand links to valuable resources sorted in topics and type of resource: Facts, Guides, and Sources. Also see Special Themes like Geography, Church records and Emigration. Covers all of Sweden and is all in English. It is recommended that you read the "Newcomer" pages first. Here is the link: http://sweggate.com
SweGGate has about 35,000 visits per year (70% USA, 10% Sweden) and Dr. Fredrik continues to update and add to it!
Tusen Tack! to Dr. Fredrik Haeffner, the SwedenGenWeb Country Coordinator and his associates for the SweGGate web site. Also Tusen Tack for many suggestions from Dr. Fredrik to improve this page!
