Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota
About Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota
Since its establishment in March 1983, the Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota has served as a vital cultural bridge for families in Mendota Heights, MN and throughout the region seeking to understand their Swedish heritage. This non-profit organization was created with a mission to foster genuine interest in Swedish ancestry while building community among those passionate about preserving their family stories and cultural connections. The Society believes that genealogical research is more than data collection—it's about honoring the journeys, struggles, and achievements of ancestors who came to America seeking better lives.
The organization brings people together through quarterly meetings, educational programs, and access to specialized research materials that help individuals piece together their family narratives. Members exchange ideas, learn from one another, and benefit from the collective knowledge of experienced researchers who understand the unique challenges of tracing Swedish lineages across continents and centuries. By serving the Mendota Heights area, the Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota creates meaningful opportunities for cultural learning and personal discovery. The Society's commitment extends beyond individual family research to encompassing broader goals: expanding awareness of Swedish society and culture, encouraging publication of genealogical materials, and ensuring that the stories of Swedish-American settlement and immigration are preserved and celebrated for generations to come.
