It can be confusing to do genealogy in Sweden if you don't know the system. Sweden was and is divided in different govern parts, they have changed during the years and the old ones still around.
When it comes to genealogy it's Län which counts. Not the present as some changes were done for some years ago, it's the old ones you shall think about. A Län is about the same as your counties.
Then it comes to the parish. There are several parishes in Skaraborg Län. Here you must know the parish, There is to many to look into. More in explanation about counties in Sweden and which subdivisions there are in Sweden, you can read on http://www.tiny.cc/vTWqp

Your Swedish Roots is the best one to start learning from and takes you through step by step. Cradled in Sweden is more technical but has information that is not readily available elsewhere. I recommend that you splurge and get them both if possible as they work together very well. Each has great learning tools presented.

Sonja, Yes, Cradled in Sweden is available and excellent, as is Your Swedish Roots. The two "Bibles" for Swedish study. I have a good map of the Skaraborg Parishes, but you still will need to have some knowledge of where in that county they came from or you will be forever looking through records. Email me and I will send you a copy of the map. Cheri Hopkins clchopkins@gmail.com

Thank you Judi.....I have tried to get "Cradled in Sweden" several times and they say it is out of print. Is Scaraborg not the county? I'm really getting confused!!
Everyone tells me to find out the parish, but I don't know how to do it.
