Question:

How can I find a birth certificate for my father who was born in Sweden?

He immegrated to the U.S. in the 1920's but I can't seem to find that record either. Did they have to show a birth certificate to come into the U.S. from another country during that time period?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try "Swedish Roots", http://www.genealogi.se/roots/ . It's the English version of the largest Swedish genealogy web page. You will for example find the link to EllisIsland - http://www.ellisisland.org/ - , an "Emigrant Forum" (still only in Swedish, though), church records and other genealogy resources.
