Swedish Civil Records for Family History
There are many records that were created by the Swedish civil authorities that will help you find your Swedish ancestors. These records are especially useful when the church records are insufficient.

As you search the Swedish civil records you will find the span of years varies record to record. This is due to laws, social developoment, the purpose of the record, and the preservation of the originals. Some records have different names in different parts of the country. Some records were created in duplicate for example: a local tax record was used to create a county tax record, which was used to create a national tax record. You will find the level of detail will vary depending on the version.

Although court records were created by a civil authority, they will be listed on the Swedish Judicial Records for Family History page.
