Only a few places are included so far, but I will be adding more, and hope eventually to include all the places on the index below. These are not all the places in Karlskoga parish. It does not include places, such as Degerfors and Bohammar, for which I could not figure out family relationships. The families in each place are organized according to a descendant-style pedigree, beginning with the earliest settler for which there are records.

When there were no records to suggest a date of birth, I have also estimated these dates according to this pattern:

Mother age 22 at the birth of the first child or age 28 when only one child is known
Father age 26 at the birth of the first child or age 32 when only one child is known

In compiling these records, I have done my best to determine family relationships, but these may not all be correct. Sometimes the records show definite relationship; other times they only hint at a possibility. I have tried to note where relationships are indicated but not proved. Also, these old records are difficult to read and I am an American trying to read old Swedish. I could easily have made errrors in interpretation or in copying. Please let me know of any errors that you may find.
