Why Should I Look at This Collection?
If you have ancestors who joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Scandinavia, they may be included in this collection. Members of the Church who were emigrating to Utah frequently traveled in companies composed of other Church members. This collection may also include persons who were not members of the Church, but were taking the opportunity to travel with other Scandinavians to the United States.

The index to these records was created by the Sweden-America Center in Karlstad, Sweden, and was originally available as part of their Emibas collection.
