Hello! I am new to genealogy searching and am working on my husband's family tree. He passed away in 2018 so he cannot help me. I am having trouble verifying the names of his grandparents and great- grandparents. I am not doing so well looking at Swedish records for births, marriages, deaths and burials. Are there good links I can try? My husband Kaj Arne Larsson was born in Täby May 23, 1963, and he died on Sept. 7, 2018 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl, USA. He is buried in the cemetery at Järvsö church with his parents and grandparents (father's side). His dad was Gustav Arne Larsson (1932-1998) and his mom was Eva Margareta Viktoria (Pettersson) Larsson (1934-2002). Any help or pointers are appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the information. Question: how do you know that is my husband's grandfather? Is there a record? His grandfather's first name was Gustav, but I am not sure of his middle name. His wife was Vera. I think his grandfather died in 1979 and his grandmother (Vera) died in 2002, November, I think. Kaj's mom and grandmother died the same week in 2002. This photo is from the cemetery in Järvsö. Tack så mycket!
