SweGGate -

About this Portal

Current work ..

• I'm constantly looking for new, valuable sources. Many are in Swedish but I'm asking webmasters to translate and also assist in translating other sites.
• Production of instructions in English how to use some Swedish-speaking sites (Searches and request input)
• Continue updating this web portal
• Fredrik's closest helper :-)

Aims in general

• Become the main gate into Sweden for genealogical researchers outside Sweden.
• Provide logical overview and easy access to facts, guides and data sources.
• Resource for Swedish genealogists researching emigrant descendants.

Aims in detail

• Offer an overview of Swedish genealogical sources.
• To create roads into Swedish genealogical sources to assist in finding the info you want
• To pave the way for researchers, especially those who do not have the opportunity to come to Sweden and those who do not read Swedish.
• This web portal is limited to general topics. At start-up there is much detail info but as Roads to different parts of Sweden are created (County/Province sites) specific info will be moved there and linked from here.

Additional policies for this org and the SweGGate site:

• SweGGate is a non-profitable, non-commercial organization. I will always try to find and link to other non-profitable sources. Only if such sources are not available I will link to others.
• Courtesy is a virtue. When you receive help - remember to say "thanks" to the one who helped you and return the favour to that or another fellow researcher.
• The common language is English. Some parts are available in Swedish as well.
• Everything on this site is free of charge.
