Forteckning Over Emigranter Fran Ostergotland
This list of emigrants from 1851-60 contains the names of all heads of households and single persons that applied for passports at the county government office in Linkoping. The passport journals were later copied in 1856 and 1861 and the copies sent to the Tabellverket in Stockholm. This list is a transcription from the microfilm of the copies in Tabellverket. This list also provides the emigration parish for about 800 persons, and knowing that, it is in most cases possible to connect the emigrant with the church records, and so find his or her origin.

Internet Genealogy Magazine Reviews WorldVitalRecords.com
We simply couldn't have said it better ourselves! The most recent issue of Internet Genealogy magazine includes a 4-page article by Diane L. Richard detailing the incredible growth and benefits of an online subscription to the worldvitalrecords.com content collection. Here are a few quotes:
"UK BMD and Census Records. The addition of these records helps make the World Collection comparable to Ancestry's World Collection."
"Each subscription service on its own was just a bit too narrow for my limited needs, or had enough overlap with other databases that I currently subscribe to, to make it hard to justify individual subscriptions. That is now a moot point as I can 'one-stop-shop' at WorldVitalRecords.com"
