Släkthistoriska Studier (SS)

Släkthistoriska Studier is a Swedish journal for family history and genealogy published by the Genealogical Society of Sweden since 2022. We welcome contributions with a foundation in scientific rigor in all fields of interest to family historians. It is an open-access journal without article submission or processing charges. Although the focus is on contributions in Swedish, we also welcome contributions in English, Danish or Norwegian. The journal accepts a broad spectrum of articles of interest to genealogists and family historians. We do not have a criteria for that an article has to be of general interest, rather it is the quality of the research that is the focus. As a fully digital journal, we can therefore accept papers that are somewhat odd both in format and in content, and that normally would not be accepted in other journals. We therefore also accept papers that are on the boarder between family history and adjacent research fields. The main focus is on new family history results. The problem has to, however, reach a certain complexity in the way that an argumentation and a discussion of the original sources are needed to reach a conclusion, not only a list of sources. A purpose with a paper can therefore be that it can be used as a source in a family tree. Examples of such articles include: Investigations where the information in the church archives are wrong, ambiguous, incomplete or missing. Investigations that demonstrate errors or limitations in the published literature. Investigations that use DNA in combination with archive research to establish family relations. Unsolved problems ("brick walls") where a solid work has been done, but the solution has not been found, Emigrant research and research on soldiers, smiths or on persons in other groups that are relatively difficult to investigate. Investigations of the history of farms or villages using for example tax records.
