Finding Swedish Ancestors

Member Tim Benson will present his research of his great-grandparents who came to the US from Sweden in 1890.  As part of the presentation, he will give a primer on Swedish church records, an amazing free, online resource that documents the entire Swedish population from birth to death for 300 years.  He will chronicle his great-grandparent’s movements from small town Sweden to the capital of Stockholm, and finally their emigration to Kansas City where they ran a bakery for years.
