Sami and Nybyggare

[Rodney Williams]

I am starting to research my Västerbotten and Norrbotten ancestors and I am wondering if there are any tips on how to identify Sami - apart from the use of Lappmanen (?) before the first names and Lappby (Sami villages) in the Household examination books?

I understand that some Sami could be listed as nybyggare (settlers).

I know there is a recent book out - Samiska Rotter - but my ability to read Swedish is a bit limited.

Many thanks

Rodney
