Genealogy research

Are you interested in genealogy research?

In the Ölmestad Museum, located in a former school building in Reftele, you will be able to take part of the microfilmed church records from our area, the Västbo district.

This has been made possible by an unemployment project called SVAR/Kultur, which includes the municipality of Gislaved. This project is connected to a larger archive, SVAR-Riksarkivet. SVAR/Kultur also works for the Emigrant Institute in Växjö.

Moreover the Westbo-Mo genealogy association has a research centre in Reftele. This association is one of the 135 members of The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies.
