Status: public API and reuse licence could not be verified (404 on documented endpoints) — owner emails Arkivverket. Until it is live, Provara tells you when this archive is where to look and you bring the record in yourself.
How to search it in Provara
- Census returns: ask Provara where a family was living in a given census year.
- Church books: ask Provara for a baptism or parish marriage.
- Immigration and passenger lists: ask Provara when and where an ancestor arrived.
- Provara searches this archive alongside every other live one, ranks what comes back by how many of the person's recorded facts each hit contains, and shows you the record with a ready citation. Nothing is added to your tree until you confirm it.
Record types here
- Census returns — A household on one day: names, ages, birthplaces, occupations and relationships to the head. The backbone of placing a family in a decade.
- Church books — Baptisms, marriages and burials kept by parishes, often the only record before the state began counting.
- Immigration and passenger lists — Arrivals by ship or border: name, age, origin, destination, sometimes the relative they were joining. The bridge between the old country and the new.
No card needed. Build and source your tree free; search these archives free; the assistant's research runs on tokens.
Every licence on these pages was read from the archive's own terms on the date shown. Provara proposes only what a record it has read supports, shows the record beside the claim, and marks anything unsourced as a hypothesis. Nothing on this page states a fact about any person.
