Would like to join the project. I live in Kalmar, Sweden and most of my ancestry is from around here. I have done a DNA test on 23andMe and can see several relatives in USA.

Hey Axel, I have Svensson and Carlsdotter in my tree from Kalmar. My great Grandmother was born a Fransson and adopted by Fardig.
Both Carlsdotter and Svensson are very common in Sweden. I have added about 400 ancestors to my WikiTree. I have not added any brother or sister to the ancestors though. 16 ancestors have the name Svensson (son of Sven) and 2 are named Carlsdotter (daughter of Carl). I can do some research in the parish books if you have any dates and places.

I would like to join the Nordic project.  I have ancestors (and still maintain contact with living relatives) located around the Vaxjö area in Sweden.  My main concern is with getting help reading the difficult (to me) cursive writing found in the Swedish Houshold Records, Birth and Baptism Records, etc.

Hi,

I'd like to join the Nordic project. I'm hoping to add/edit pre-1700 profiles for people who lived in the Nordic countries and I'd prefer some help with those. An additional issue with some profiles is that I'm unsure under which project's "jurisdiction" they belong to, considering that some of them are Scottish nobles and Baltic Germans living in then-Sweden.
