Read about the Swedish parish records on the SweGGate site. Follow this pathway.

Other names for the HFL are husförhörslängd, household examination record and clerical survey record. The HFL is a parish record similar in format to a census but it is updated continually and not just every ten years. Those census records I provided from Sweden were extractions from the HFL. The HFL is much more detailed, however.
Also read the articles on the Swedish Roots site.

These are excellent guidebooks to Swedish genealogy. Your Swedish Roots is easier for beginners and Cradled in Sweden is more detailed. I own both of these books.
