This blog is about genealogy and is managed by a Swedish amateur genealogist. Here you will find guides, links, tips, reviews and personal topics on genealogy. I will focus on trying to give tips and hints for beginners and professionals wanting to learn more about doing genealogy in the Nordic countries (mainly Sweden). So if you want to explore your Nordic/Scandinavian roots, follow this blog. Commenters are welcome, but be advised that all new commenters will have to have their comment manually approved by me the first time.-
