Find Swedish Relatives

Turning from the past to the now, and perhaps looking forward to visiting Sweden. Maybe you want to get in touch with Swedish relatives.

Finding Swedish Relatives Report:

The report (.pdf) includes your Swedish relatives in a single tree format showing them in relation to you. The search is based on one of your emigrated ancestors. (Check in with me if you have two or more relatives you want me to look into),
and it includes addresses to contact them.

The primary contact with living relatives is usually done with a letter. This way they get to imerse themselves in your information, take in what you already know and think things over. Not everybody is familiar with ancestors further back than their grandparents, so looking through the tree and recognising parents, siblings, cousins and aunts and uncles may take som time to work through. Usually this wakens the curiosity and they get in touch.

Writing the letter, what to think of:

do not include too much or too little. Try to keep it informative. You can always tell them more later,
include information about yourself that is relevant to this context,
include a small family tree (see report above) starting with your emgrated ancestor, you and the persons you are contacting,
your contact info: name, address and email.

I can translate it for you or write it for you so that all you have to do is add your personal part of the letter.

The ancestral tour is planned based on the information I collect from the genealogical research I do on your ancestors. To find those extra details and the information specific to your ancestors such as finding maps, the location of a house or croft, grave stones and other interesting details.

Please note that I don't book hotels, cars or anything else outside of the genealogical research, this has to be done by the traveller him/herself.
