UPDATED:    Database:  2010-07-05     Membership Roll:  2010-07-05


Welcome to DISBYT database where you may search for relatives and find research friends!

22,2 million records before 1909
The database is made up of information submitted by members of DIS - Computer Genealogy Society of Sweden.
The DISBYT database contains 22,2 million records of Swedes who lived before 1909. 
Each record can represent one or more individuals and consists of info about name, parish and year for events such as birth, marriage and death. It also includes the name of the submitter.

DISBYT-news
Due to extensive use of the Disbyt database, we have decided to limit the number of accesses to the database to 1000 accesses each day for each user. This limitation is made for safety reasons and for fair use reasons.

Source Quality Stars
As good news for the summer research, we have improved the DISBYT database. Quality in research is important. We therefor now will show how good the basis for the information is. You will see star after the each note, which will mean the following:
-Only year exists
*Date exists
**Source reference exists
***Source reference with volume number exists
****Source reference with volume and page number exists

If there is no stars, the reason could be that the data was submitted a long time ago. We have also had som problems with missing info. If you resubmit your data, it will be correct the next time.

Benefits for those of you who have submitted more data
If you have submitted info of at least 200 persons the last year, you will get a browsing function where you can browse between the same person submitted by different researchers. This function works if there is birth records.
If you have submitted info at least 1000 persons the last two years, you will be able to see a ancestor chart in four generations.
