Example

One notable figure who appears in the Sweden Marriages, 1850–1945 collection is Svante August Arrhenius, one of Sweden’s most influential scientists. Arrhenius was born in 1859 and went on to make groundbreaking contributions to chemistry and physics, becoming the first Swedish citizen to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for his theory of electrolytic dissociation. His work laid critical foundations not only for modern chemistry but also for climate science, where he is regarded as one of the field’s earliest pioneers.

The marriage record documents Arrhenius’s union with Brita Maria Margreta Sofia Rudberk, born in 1866. The couple married on May 21, 1894, in Gamla Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden. The record also notes that this was Arrhenius’s second marriage, and that marriage banns were published, reflecting the traditional church practices of the time.
