Clemensson & Andersson: Authors
Per Clemensson and Kjell Andersson have been authors for over 20 years known for
writing on the subject of genealogy. They have written the best selling ‘Släktforska
Steg för Steg’ and have also written ‘Släktforska vidare.’
Both of these books can be purchased from Genline.
Genline and Per Clemensson and Kjell Andersson came to an agreement during the
winter 2002/2003 regarding the production of a book for the international and
primarily North American market. In the USA alone there are 12 million people
with Swedish ancestry who are to a large extent doing family research.
In order to accomplish this work - which currently has the working title “Find
Your Swedish Roots – a step by step guidance” - and to ensure effective
distribution and sales Genline has an agreement with the American publishing house
MyFamily Inc.
The books planning is to explain in easy terms for North Americans how they can
carry out their genealogical research “home to Sweden.” The book also
utilizes modern research methods such as Genline.

The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies
Genline's most important collaborative agreement was signed in January 2002 with
The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies (SSf) which is an umbrella organization
for genealogical societies in Sweden.
Currently there are approximately 145 societies tied to the SSf and the number
of members in each society can range from 30 to 18000 people. The total membership
is approximately 55 000 but many individuals are members of multiple societies
so perhaps 30 000 unique individuals have ties with the SSf.
SSf 's largest member organization is DIS (Datorstöd I Släktforskningen
- Computer Genealogy Society of Sweden) which has 18 000 members and a large amount
of member ties to SSf.
