What is Genline FamilyFinder?
Genline FamilyFinder (GFF) allows you to search, view, and print pages from Genline's Swedish Church Records archive. Other features include picture rotation, zoom, contrast/brightness control, transcription contribution, IPAR (IP Address Recognition) and proxy server configuration.
What is GIDx?
GIDx is a concept for Genline which is the "indexing" of the Swedish Church Records archive down to the "Genline ID number" (GID) or image. The purpose of the GIDx is to provide searchable complementary information such as person, parish, village, or farm name that is related to a particular GID number or image.
Genline FamilyFinder supports searching GIDx content by allowing the user to Search Person and Search Place in the Swedish Church Records archive.
The first GIDx content that was published in the Swedish Church Records archive is from the SCB material (Swedish Church Records between 1860 and 1897). Gradually the farms and villages in the household examination books are being added to the archive. Places lists the parishes where the farms and villages have been indexed.
The release of Genline Familyfinder 3.0 introduced the possibility for Genline’s users to contribute transcribed information about people. Transcribed person content will become more and more available relative to the amount of transcriptions contibuted by Genline’s users.
Does Genline FamilyFinder cost anything?
Genline FamilyFinder is free, however to have full access to the Swedish Church Records archive you must be a registered user with Genline and order a subscription.
