Marlene Heinsohn presented a very good program on various steps to try in finding the maiden name of your missing relative.  After this was completed she explained her use of the WEB TV that she uses for her Internet and the success she has been having.  She said,"Nothing like sitting back in the recliner with your wireless keyboard in your lap and looking at a 25 inch screen with your information coming up."  She loves to go out into Germany and Czechoslovakia in the late late hours of the night.  She must be related to King Midas for she always seems to find her family that has been missing for a few years of her research, the golden touch?

FINDING SWEDISH RECORDS 

In 1686, a law was passed in Sweden stating detailed records had to be kept of all people living in the country.  The job of keeping these records was given to the Lutheran State Church, to which all citizens of Sweden belonged at that time.  In these records you may find names, vital statistics, records of family members, movements and much more.
