Stockholm parishes

[Jay Hagfeldt]

Hi all,

From time to time I find ancestors from Östmark who emigrated to Stockholm. 
I assume there are multiple parishes in Stockholm, but does anyone know of a way to determine which parish a person went to?  The last ancestor I found showed on the Household Examination that he went to Stockholm, Drottningen 35, which is a street address in Stockholm, I believe.  How would a person know which parish? 

Regards.
Jay

For the period 1878-1926 most of the wards in the city are covered in Stockholms rotemansarkiv:

In this archive you can also use Advanced search in order to search for a street address, for instance Drottninggatan,35 (with comma and without space). In this case you'll find that the parish is Klara.

The period before 1878 is covered by Stockholms mantalsregister:

That was more than helpful, that was a revelation. 
I've run into a few ancestors who emigrated to Stockholm, and I'm sorry to say that it was like a black hole to me.  They would just disappear, and I could no longer trace them.

Thank you so much Åke.   

Regards.

I just wanted to add my thanks as well Åke.  Members of my family have been looking for a particular great-grandmother for at least 60 years, with no luck.  Your tip helped us break down a wall that has been blocking our genealogical research for longer than I have been alive   I agree with Jay.  Your tip was more than helpful.  It was a revelation.  I cannot thank you enough.
With Deepest Gratitude,
Kelly
