The Swedish Genealogy Guide website and Swedish Historical Dictionary Database were recently updated and improved to run more smoothly. You'll find the query and response time are significantly better.

Also, I started a new feature on the blog called "Swedish Genealogy News" where I'll share updates from the Swedish genealogical community, discoveries of new resources, databases, and other topics of Swedish genealogical interest.
