Gamla Stan

This CD is one in a series from the Stockholm City Archives. Each contains records from the Rotemanarkivet. The Roteman system of Stockholm was put in place to deal with the burgeoning growth of the city during the late 19th century. It divided the city into wards, and each ward had a clerk who kept a detailed ledger of the properties and their inhabitants. Information on these individuals includes:

name
birth date and place
occupation
place moved from and to
supplementary information such as education, military service, medical care, poor benefits and criminality.

The system was in use from 1878 until 1926. The Roteman system did not replace, but ran parallel with the records kept by the church. The wards, however, did not usually coincide geographically with parishes. The ward included in this CD represents the Stockholm city parish of Storkyran (Nikolai).

Please note that these CDs contain much more than records of genealogical importance. This CD/DVD set allows you to experience the environment and living conditions of Gamla Stan through 12,000 photos, drawings, maps and archival documents. Film clips and recordings from radio are also included. Over 1000 ariticles provide both research tips and background information on the history and socio-economic conditions of the district. This content spans 750 years of history.
