A Household Examination Record (or Husförhörslängd) is a church book containing information about all the
people who lived in a specific parish. The record became commonplace throughout the kingdom by the late 1700’s,
although there are many examples from the 1600’s. The purpose of the Household Examination Records (also
known as Clerical Surveys) was to help the Lutheran State Church in its responsibility to keep track of the people. It
also served as an opportunity to teach church doctrine, reinforce disciplinary authority, and promote a healthy
society. The Household Examination Records are a key source in Swedish genealogical research.

Interchangeable First Names
These name variants above are indicative of an important principle about names. In Sweden, it is not uncommon to call a person by an
affectionate form of the given name. William, for example, in English-speaking countries is often know as Bill. This can be confusing in
research, where for example someone may be called Kjerstin in the birth record, but later is called Stina in another record. Most names also have
variant spellings. It really is not much of a problem, once you have learned to recognize these names. Some of the more common names and
variants are listed below:

When baptized, children were usually given one name. Prominant or well-to-do families sometime gave their chidren two names or even three.
The name may be that of a parent or other relative.
A traditional way of naming children was as shown below, but it is important to know that this pattern was not always followed and was less
common in some areas of Sweden.
The first son was named after the father's father.
The second son was named after the mother's father.
The third son was named after the father.
The fourth son was named after the fathers eldest brother.
The first daughter was named after the mother's mother. Surnames developed from four major sources: •
•
•
•
•
•
•
Patronymic, based on the father's name, such as Johan Nilsson (son of Nils).
Nicknames, based on a person's characteristics, such as Pehr Fager (the fair).
Geographical, based on a person's place of birth or residence, such as Olof Grankulla.
These were less common in Sweden.
•
Occupational, based on the person's trade, such as Lars Smed (Smith).
These were very un-common in Sweden
In Sweden two-part surnames (constructed from two words) were very common:
•
•
Based on two "nature words", for example: Lindgren (linden + branch), Berggren (hill + branch), Bladberg (leaf + hill), Sjöblad (lake
+ leaf), etc.
Based on one "nature word" plus a greek/latin ending like -ander/-andra, -ius/-ia, -us/-a, -er, -en, -in, -ell, for example: Lindén, Linder,
Lindell, Bergander, Bergius, etc.
