OLD MAPS for Swedish Genealogy!

[@roadbuzz]

Amazing resource, thanks for the information. My family was not so far from yours: Tutaryd parish, Kronoberg county, Småland.

I'm so looking forward to using this, and will be watching your other videos on the topic. BTW, my immigrant paternal GGM was born in Kånna, near Ljungby in 1848! I still have cousins living there.

I am looking forward to trying out kartbild because I have several Swedish ancestors. I was a map maker for the US government for 35 years and I love genealogy so I enjoy seeing other maps. Some of the places my ancestors were from are: Sporrbacka Kvarn, Locknevi, Kalmar, Sweden Nyserum, Frödinge, Kalmar, Sweden Alhult, Blackstad, Kalmar, Sweden Rud, Ånimskog, Älvsborgs, Sweden Lidögården, Tisselskog, Älvsborgs, Sweden

Ramkvilla, Jönköping, Småland here. I am just starting Swedish genealogy.

Thanks so much for creating these videos! My ancesters seem to be from around Asker in Örebro county.

I used your instructions to map my family back to Ljunby Kronoberg area too! I found the areas and took screenshots on google maps street view to show my family the area our ancestors were in. I do have one question if you seen this - I have hit dead ends when people moved from another area (so there isn't a page reference for me to follow). How best should I look for page references between parishes etc?

[@thehoogard]

There's a LOAD feature as well, so pretty sure you can Import your notes again, should your map expire.

Do you have any resources for finding land records in and around Quebec cities like Montreal? Thanks!

[@RoamYourRoots]

Oh that's a great question! I haven't explored Quebec land records yet, but I have so many Quebec ancestors that it's definitely something I'll have to research... this FamilySearch Wiki page gives a good overview of early land ownership in Quebec: www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Quebec_Land_and_Property

[@evansalp3789]

@@RoamYourRoots I’d definitely be interested in a video on the topic if you’re ever interested in making one :)

[@RoamYourRoots]

@@evansalp3789 Definitely! A while back I did some mapping videos for my quebec ancestors but they were only based on marriage and birth records (and they were some of my first videos so... they need some work ha!) I'll definitely restart a Quebec genealogy series in the future!

[@Jorgie1944]

The ancestors that i know of are from Stiby Skåne.

[@lindaberg1695]

I have ancestors from Västernorrland...

Malsjo, Grassmark Parish Varmland

I’m Ronda Lovedahl descendant of Eric Laufdauf

[@isaksjostrom8428]

Instead of using Google maps, which is great but doesn't display nearly all names of places, you ought to use Lantmäteriet's map. Which is the national mapping service of Sweden.

[@RoamYourRoots]

That’s a great tip, thank you!

I have descendants from ignaberga.
