Greetings, most of these online search sites are on my web site in various places.
I have decided to put them together here for quicker access, and I will be adding more sites as I find them.
If you know of a site that should be here, please let me know. Thanks,  Jerry Longstrom

Kiron, Iowa Excellent site! done by Glenn Gustafson about Kiron Iowa, where many Swedes immigrated to. Click on Glenn's Databases for a listing of Swedes from the läns listed to the right. Click on Kiron Kountry Library, then click on cemetery records collection and a link for Swedish connections to Kiron Iowa, and other links for more information.	Here is a list of parishes where I have been researching the emigrant data in the 1850 to 1895 timeframe.  All but Misterhult are side by side in the heart of 0Småland backcountry where the three läns join: Jönköping län: --Bellö parish --Hässleby parish --Ingatorp parish (currently adding 1871 to 1895) --Kråkshult parish Kalmar län: --Misterhult parish --Rumskulla parish Östergötland län --Svinhult parish and in Halland län(old name Hvalinge) from 1600 to 1815 (my grandfathers home): --Valinge birthdates --Valinge marriage dates --Valinge death dates --Valinge list of names In the beginning, 1867-8, Kiron was populated by a large group from Misterhult, from western Kristianstads län, and from up north by Hassela (where the Norelius brothers originated. Andrew, the Baptist preacher, came to Kiron.  Eric, the Lutheran preacher, went to Southern Minnesota.) 15 to 20 years later, the big wave of Skaraborg län immigrants came -- lots of them stopped off in Kiron. But, others from scattered parts of Sweden also came.  One of our goals is to give everyone buried in the local cemeteries, a birthplace.  Its been a very enjoyable "detective game" tracking down the emigrants.

  SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH BENEFIT INFORMATION

  The Social Security Death Index can be searched for free at:
  Ancestry's Social  Security  death benefit 

  This can be an easy way to find information about relatives.
  Ancestry.com updates this index monthly and has recently rolled the most recent
  update that is available, which includes information provided by the
  Social Security Administration (SSA) through the end of February 2000. 
  
  The Social Security Death Index (SSDI) contains the records of deceased persons
  who possessed Social Security numbers and whose death had been reported to the
  SSA. It is important to remember though, that the Social Security Administration
  was not formed until 1936, and so, although you will find some entries with
  birth dates predating the twentieth century, most of the data is on people who
  died fairly recently.  In fact, almost ninety-eight percent of the entire index
  contains individuals who died after 1962 when the SSA began keeping the database
  on computer.
  
  It is possible, however, that even if you think the person may be included, that
  you will not find him or her in the Social Security Death Index.
  
  Here are some of the reasons why a person may not be found in the SSDI
  
  1) The individual did not have a Social Security card. Especially before
  1951, it is entirely possible that your ancestor did not have a Social Security
  number at all. The self-employed, farmers, military, government employees, some
  professional groups (doctors, lawyers), did not receive coverage until the 1950s
  and 1960s. Certain members of the family may have never had the need to enroll
  in Social Security (retired individuals, housewives, etc.).
  2) The individual had a Social Security card, but his/her death was not
  reported to the SSA. The Death Master File only contains those deaths reported
  to the SSA.
  3) The individual is in the file, but listed under another name or another
  spelling. Try other spellings of the individual's name, including middle names,
  nicknames, initials, maiden names, other married surnames, etc.
  4) The individual is in the file, but original data was reported or recorded
  incorrectly.
  
  More information on the SSDI can be found in the following:
  
  SSDI FAQ
  http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/vital/ssdi/faq.htm
  
  If you do not succeed in locating the Social Security number in the SSDI, you
  may want to look at some other sources.  Some databases, like the North Carolina
  Vital Records Index, 1993-1996,
  http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/3309.htm
  or the Ohio Death Index, 1989-1991,
  http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/3401.htm
  include the Social Security number.
  
  You can also request the Social Security records of deceased individuals, and
  although it is a bit costlier without the number, you can still submit a request
  without it. In these cases, you will need to "provide identifying information
  (name, place and date of birth, father's full name, and mother's given and
  maiden names)." More information on requesting these records is available from
  the Social Security Department's "Guide to FOIA Requests" at:
  http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm

  Social Security home page

  Death certificates are another good source for this information and home sources
  can also prove valuable in this aspect. Drivers licenses or State I.D. cards,
  passports, insurance policies, pension, and employment records found in the
  home, may all contain Social Security numbers.
