Got Swedish Ancestry?

I'm a big fan of FamilySearchIndexing. Looks like they're getting ready to revolutionize research for Swedish researchers. I wonder what the differences are between their project, described below, and the subscription-based Genline. At any rate, these projects make me wish I had more Swedish ancestors....

I do have Swedish ancestry - lots more than I thought I had. Using Legacy's Search tool (click on image) I found that I have 332 individuals who were born in Sweden - 72 of those are my direct line (mostly 18th century).

Comment by tami osmer glatz on August 21, 2009 at 7:18pm: Hi Geoff. I'm pretty certain that the Genline databases are available for use at Family History Centers. This would lead me to believe that there is some sort of collaboration going on between FamilySearch & Genline... I don't know anything more about it, just speculation.
