    I watched this for a friend with the surname of Hansen. It was a lovely presentation. I saw the first one on Demark but missed the Sweden one. So now I will go back and view it. So many nice details. I had a good viewing experience. Thank you.

Which Hans Jensen is Mine? Navigating Patronymics in Scandinavian Research
The majority of ancestral Scandinavians shared a small number of given names and surnames. Following ancestors without becoming mixed up in the patronymic pot can be a challenge. This webinar will provide guidance for focusing on your ancestor and eliminating other possible family lines. We will answer the most common questions regarding ancestral patronymics: what are they? why are they used? and how do I follow my family and not the neighbors?
