Record Types and Rules for Indexing
At present, FamilySearch Indexing is working on 3 types of church records. They are birth and chistenings, engagement and marriages, and death and burial records.

Sometimes the ministers book has divided sections for the different types, other times the 3 types could be mixed on the same page. Either way the indexing tool allows you to index each entry of a page according to the appropriate type.

In order to create a great index, FamilySearch needs every indexer to be consistent with the indexing rules. Please read through each section to learn what the rules are before indexing the Swedish church records.
