Cd/dvd-records

For many of us, the information we have in advance about the family is scarce. Thankfully there are a large number of very useful CD/DVD/USB-records to help you find the way into the Swedish church records.

The Swedish Death Index – The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies has released a number of databases on USB that facilitate the search for your Swedish family, the most important one is the Swedish Death Index.

The Swedish Death Index is a searchable database that is output on USB memory. The database is an extremely appreciated tool for genealogists, both in Sweden and abroad. For many Swedish genealogists, novice and experienced, searching the Swedish Death Index is the first step to find new relatives.

Swedish Death Index 9 is the most recent version that covers the years 1815-2022 and contains name, date of birth and death, marital status, convocation and address for approximately 16,5 million people 1815–2022.
