Need help finding record

I am using Riksarkivet and under search in Varmland county it does not give option for parish of Södra Råda. Looking specifically for farm of Knekterud 1863-1870, household records. Can someone possibly send me a link??? Much appreciated. Thank you. Deniese​

This may work for you? https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0039148_00204#?c=&m=&s=&cv=203&xywh=379%2C-283%2C4431%2C3196

Shari- yes that is exactly what I needed. What county and parish should I have been looking in?

I'm not sure what went wrong with your search. The FamilySearch wiki is always a great place to start with these questions, but there are many tools that can help with Swedish research. https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/S%C3%B6dra_R%C3%A5da_Parish,_V%C3%A4rmland,_Sweden_Genealogy

Thank you. I regularly use family search wiki. I used it to check the counties and parishes for Varmland. Not sure what I did wrong while searching in Riksarkivet. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe was tired and not paying attention.

Södra Råda is in Värmland county and is listed in Arkiv Digital . Here is the link for Södra Råda (Råda (in Visnums härad)

Hello again Shari. By using your links and looking at them I figured out how to get what I needed. Södra Råda would not show when I searched in Varmland but when I put Södra Råda in the arkives search and left the counties as ALL it comes up​

When using Riksarkivet, I do not select any county. Just type the parish and if you are not really sure how the parish name is written you can use an aterisk *

If there are more than one parish with same name, then you will get all of them e.g. when searching "Näsby" you wil get Näsby, Jönköpings län; Näsby, Östergötlands län and Näsby, Örebro län.

Södra Råda will give you only one kyrkoarkiv (parish records).

 

There have been changes in counties in Sweden, so if you use county in your search, then there is a possibility not to get right search result. Also Riksarkivet and Arkivdigital use different counties, other old ones and other current ones.

Thank you Heidi. I am gradually learning how to navigate it better . ​

Thank you Liv. I did learn how to find under Riksarkivet. Limited budget so don't use Arkiv Digital. Takes a little longer but I manage.​
