Swedish Passports - 1894 to 1939

Legg inn av Andy Carlson » 01 mai 2005 22:23:17

Hello all,

I am (still) trying to get a definite trace for the origin of my great
grandfather, Harold Gustavus Carlsson in Sweden. I have found a likely birth
record in Sweden, but as the surname is so common, I am trying to confirm it
via an independent route.

Harold (or Harald) was born in Sweden circa 1868 and married in Cornwall,
England in 1894. In 1901 he was listed as still being a Swedish national and
there is no record of him being naturalised in the UK.

About 1910 he moved to Roscrea, Ireland and lived in that area for the rest of
his life, dying there in 1948.

According to the family, he made several return visits to Sweden to see his
family. We dont have any dates for these trips, but he was believed to be
planning a trip when World War 2 broke out, so it seems reasonable to assume
that he was making trips occasionally in the 1920s or 1930s.

So, assuming that he remained a Swedish citizen, would he have needed a
passport to visit Sweden (and return to Ireland!) in the 1920s and 1930s?

Are records of Swedish passports available anywhere?

If so, are there any name indexes?

Would the fact that he was resident in Ireland complicate matters - for
example, would he have needed to apply to an embassy or consulate locally?

Regards,
Andy Carlson
