October 1, 2022 – Fika on Zoom Read More »
If you have ever wanted to attend a Fika session, this is your chance to see how it goes. We got a close look at how Kjell finds things for SGSC members in Swedish Records. We see how he launches members on their Swedish research journey or helps them break through a brick wall. He is one of the best at Swedish Genealogy and those of us who have attended a Fika session have benefited greatly. (Before Covid, SGSC Research Sessions were held at the Fika Coffee Shop in Parker and were free for members).
