Talk:Swedish Parishes A-H

It's wonderful to have this parish listing in the Family Search Wiki, but this alphabetical order is incorrect. The Swedish alphebetical order is ... X, Y, Z, Å, Ä, Ö. The correct order needs to be reflected within each word too (1st to 2nd to 3rd letter etc.), not just mixing the ä with the a's or the ö's with the o's.

So group Ba.. then Bb, Bc, ... Bå, Bä, and Bö.

Here's how it is now: B Socken (Parish) Härad (District) Län (County) Notes Bäck Vadsbo Skaraborg Backa see Göteborg City, many records destroyed in a fire 1874 Bäckaby Västra Jönköping Backaryd Medelstad Blekinge Bäcke Vadbo Älvsborg Bäckebo Norra Möre Kalmar Bäckefors see Bäcke Backen see Umeå City, Stadsförsamling Bäckseda Östra Jönköping Badelunda Siende Västmanland after 1962 see Västerås Badelunda Bäl Gotland Norra Gotland

Here's how it should be:

B

Socken (Parish) Härad (District) Län (County) Notes Backa see Göteborg City, many records destroyed in a fire 1874 Backaryd Medelstad Blekinge Backen see Umeå City, Stadsförsamling Badelunda Siende Västmanland after 1962 see Västerås Badelunda

and then at the appropriate spot alphabetically:

Socken (Parish) Härad (District) Län (County) Notes Bäck Vadsbo Skaraborg Bäckaby Västra Jönköping Bäcke Vadbo Älvsborg Bäckebo Norra Möre Kalmar Bäckefors see Bäcke Bäckseda Östra Jönköping Bäl Gotland Norra Gotland

This will be a great reference
