Scandinavian last names can be fluid and confusing and Sweden is no exception. Swedish geography trips up the uninitiated- where are those records for Småland? Where did Sweden end and other Nordic countries begin?

You’ve got your swimsuit, so what else is needed to cross the Atlantic with your research and what records are there once you crawl up onto the shore?

Parking Update:  The Swedish American Museum has acquired parking space in the former Nelson Funeral Home lot. Enter on Foster between Ashland and Clark. The lot is on the north side of Foster. Curbside parking spots are often open on Ashland (best bet) and Foster. Members are encouraged to car pool. Use the map on the Member-Only page to find your nearest neighbor.

CAGGNI (The Computer Assisted Genealogy Group of Northern Illinois) is a group of amateur genealogists who are committed to using technology and the internet more effectively in support of their research activities. 

Monthly meeting topics cover a broad range of subjects of interest in supporting genealogical activities including software, tools, techniques and methodologies.  Additionally, monthly newsletters, support for both computer and genealogy issues and Internet surname exposure are among the benefits of membership. 

A variety of genealogy software packages are used by the membership. Popular software includes Family Tree Maker (FTM), Ancestry.com public member trees, Genii, Reunion, Personal Ancestral File (PAF), and The Master Genealogist (TMG).  We are also interested in personal websites, digital photography, handheld apps, and other ways to share our family histories.
