Example

Among the newly added entries in the Sweden Births, 1850–1920 collection is the birth record of Raoul Oscar Wallenberg, father of the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg who saved tens of thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. Raoul Sr. was born on July 13, 1888, in Skeppsholmen, Stockholm. 

His record lists his parents as Gustaf Oscar Wallenberg and Annie Maria Sofia Gustava Adelsköld. Sadly, Raoul Sr. died just weeks before his son’s birth in 1912.
