I am having trouble finding the birth record for Rigmor Elisabet --- born on 1939-12-17 per the congregational records below. I have looked in the Västerås birth records to no avail. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg

Here is the birth record from Västerås hospital, https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00176372_00379 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00176372_00379) It says she baptised in Svedvi, that you'll find here https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00176932_00095 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00176932_00095)

Thank you very much, Peppe.
I usually search for records on ArkivDigital in the parish records. Can you help me understand why I cannot find there, or maybe I'm doing something in error. I am not familiar with Riksarkivet. Are there many records on Riksarkivet that are not on ArkivDigital? Any particular instances (e.g. dates ranges) when one should use Riksarkivet versus Arkivdigital?
Thank you,
Greg

The books for Västerås Lasarett (hospital) are available @ AD, also: Centrallasarettet i Västerås: Folkbokföring (U) C:4 (1937-1940) Bild 3830 / Sida 375 (AID: v427419a.b3830.s375 (http://www.arkivdigital.se/aid/show/v427419a.b3830.s375), NAD: SE/ULA/12377 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?postid=Arkis+{9446b4b4-49d8-11d5-a6ed-0002440207bb}&s=Balder)). If you don't find a birth (or death) in the 20th century in the regular church books, check if there is a hospital where it can have happened.
The baptism in Svedvi is not available @ AD -- when a book has been used later than the current 70-year integrity limit, it can't be scanned -- and after that limit has passed, it may take some while for Riksarkivet and/or ArkivDigital to get time to do the actual scanning, and get them into the database. In this case Riksarkivet was faster -- the book with the baptism records for Rigmor Elisabet was released only in 2017 (it has notes until september 1947) and apparently AD has not got round to scanning it yet. (I know AD has held up their scanning during the pandemic, so they'll have a backlog.)
It's a good idea, when you are working in the middle 20th century, to check the archive register. AD has links to the right archive in the "Archive info" section. Svedvi birth/baptisms are here (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?postid=Arkis+93538fec-49d8-11d5-a6ed-0002440207bb&s=Balder). Note it lists all the books up until the tax authorities took over in 1991 -- if you need something from a book that is currently not in the database of pictures, you can ask for it, and the archive will check if it is sensitive or not. If it's not, they can give you a copy (it'll cost some for the copying, not much ...)

Staffan:
Where on AD can one find the archive register and "archive info"? For some reason I am having a hard time finding.
Thank you,
Greg
