Quite a few years ago I wrote to the Swedish Archives and received a huge bunch of papers showing my gt grandfather's apprenticeship and when he moved about, I have never found out when he arrived in England but he was here by 1871, I wasn't able to get his birth cert, didn't know how to go about it at the time, in 1996 it cost me 20 Swedish krona, it cost me almost as much to send a money order but it was fantastic value for money, one of these days I must settle to get his birth cert, he was born circa 1846, the details received were mostly written in English

Happy hunting
