From Augustana College’s “Swedish American Genealogist” in CARLI Digital Collections.

Swedish American Genealogist is a quarterly journal devoted to Swedish American biography, genealogy, and personal history. The journal was founded in 1981 by Nils William Olsson and is currently edited by Elisabeth Thorsell. This online collection is free to the public and contains issues published as recently as 2007. Newer issues and paper subscriptions are available from the Swenson Center.

The cover to the September 2005 issue features an illustration from Mangskog clerical survey (husförhörslängder), an important source for Swedish genealogical research. The illustration is taken from the cover article for this issue, focusing on a series of child's drawings found in surveys from 1786–89 and the research into who had drawn them.
