Wow, I see that my last entry in this blog is from December 28, 2016, over three years ago! The last time this website was updated was in June of 2017. After the long delay, I’m pleased to announce that this website has been updated with links to two more books I wrote.

I’ve finally finished the eighth volume in my series of books on the High Family’s Swedish ancestors. This book (which is currently called Chapter Eight) covers 3 generations of my ancestors who lived during the 16th century: the 5th, 6th, and 7th great-grandparents of Sven Hög, the patriarch of the High Family (who is also my 3rd great-grandfather).

I’ve also uploaded a massive book I finished last fall called The High Family’s Ancestral Homeland. This book contains detailed information on the places in Sweden that the High Family’s ancestors lived, and includes information on 14 parishes, 14 churches, and 62 farms.

I recently started work on the ninth volume of my series, which is about the medieval ancestors of Sven Hög who lived during the 13th – 15th centuries. This will most likely be the longest volume in my series of books (not including the High Family’s Ancestral Homeland, which is a separate work) and will contains images of dozens of letters which mention the High family’s medieval ancestors. I’m guessing this will take at least a year to write.

The tenth and final volume in my series of books will cover the ancient, unnamed ancestors of the High Family. It will use DNA testing to reveal information about the High Family’s ancestors who lived prior to the 13th century and will cover the Christianization of Sweden, the Viking Era, detailed information on the different haplogroups of the High family’s ancient ancestors, and the first homo sapiens. Since I am a direct patrilineal descendant of Sven Hög, I have his Y chromosome. Thus, I can use DNA testing to follow the patrilineal line of Sven’s ancestors back to Africa, where the first homo sapiens appeared. I am also interested in finding a direct matrilineal descendant of Anna Stina Johansdotter, the matriarch of the High family, so I can obtain information on some of her ancient ancestors.

I’ll be sure to update this site as finish writing each of these two volumes. Stay tuned for more t come!
