About our program: Church records are the backbone of Scandinavian research.  After a parish of origin has been determined, these records provide the majority of the information needed to extend the pedigree of one’s family.  This class will discuss the information found in church records and explain why these records are so important for family research. We will look at the layout of the records and explain record accessibility.

Everyone is welcome—we hope you will join us. Via this Zoom link
