The Swedish National Archives are constantly working to update the 1930 census, with individuals who are no longer covered by privacy regulations (GDPR).
Unlike in Norway, the Swedish National Archives publishes people in the searchable censuses when it is 100 years since they were born. Therefore, updates to the 1930 census are made in batches in Sweden.
This time, 190,739 people from 48 parishes in Kopparberg County, Malmöhus County, Älvsborg County, Örebro County and Stockholm City have been added to the collection.
As of now, the following counties are complete: Blekinge, Gotland, Jämtland, Kalmar, Kristianstad, Kronoberg, Norrbotten, Stockholm County (except Stockholm City), Södermanland, Uppsala, Värmland, Västerbotten, Västmanland and Östergötland.
There are now a total of 4,915,030 searchable persons in the Swedish 1930 census. A total of 6,131,126 people lived in Sweden when the census was conducted and can be searched for.
In Norway, the blocking period for the census as a whole is set at 100 years.
Sweden's 1930 census is a valuable resource that provides insight into population composition, residence, occupations and other demographic data at the time. This digitized accessibility opens up opportunities for a broader group of people to explore and discover their Swedish family background.
Here you will find the Swedish censuses for 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910 and 1930.
