I thought I had posted this already, but it seems I haven't. In my genealogy research, there have been a couple of ancestors who have been very hard to find, so hard that I went through all births in the 1770s in their part of Sweden just to find them ... No luck. But I did keep a list of all names I found, which after a while became way more interesting than finding my ancestors! I found about 150 male names and 90 female names (counting different versions of a name as one, they weren't really considered different names then). I really think you should take your time reading through this, because many of them are quite interesting and some are just fabulous! ;)
