The Swedish parish registrations first appear during the late 17:th century as a consequence of the canon law of 1686. This has given genealogy researchers, interested in Swedish relations, a very good opportunity to find there roots back to this time in the church records which are available for everybody without restrictions.
For the time before the church records, however, it is more difficult to find people who didn't have an official position in the society. Olaus Laurentii was an official person, being a vicar in the Gagnef parish during the late 16:th century, and as his daughters married clergymen, descendants of Olaus can be traced in many branches to the present time. A main intention with these web pages is to present a first version of a pedigree chart for Olaus Laurentii through his daughter Kerstin who was married to Laurentius Erici, chaplain in Gagnef and later vicar in åls f�rsamling, Dalarnas län, the neighbor parish of Gagnef. From this couple we are linked to the existing church records. We are relatively ignorant about Kerstin's five (known) siblings and hope, by publishing this family history report, that we may get in contact with researches or other interested persons who have such knowledge. The family tree now contains more than 32000 persons and will by and by be upgraded. |
