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 wards included in this CD represent the Stockholm city parishes of Katarina, Sofia, Maria, and Högalid.

Please note that these CDs contain much more than records of genealogical importance. This CD allows you to experience the environment and living conditions of Södermalm through 3000 photos, drawings, maps and archival documents. Over 430 ariticles provide both research tips and background information on the history and socio-economic conditions of the district.
