Overview
Hittagraven is a grave registry website maintained by the city of Stockholm, Sweden on which you can search among some 525,000 individuals buried in Stockholm's 11 public cemeteries. Information for each individual includes grave location and may include occupation, birth date, death date, burial date, and names of other individuals buried in the same grave location. Individuals buried together may be related.
The site is available in Swedish and English and also includes mapping and contact information for each cemetery.

Suggested Format for Use and Citation
In Burial textboxes, enter
- Date = burial date

- Description = if desired, add text
- Source = corresponding source citation number (ex. S1, S2, etc.)
- Image = if desired, add corresponding image number (ex. I1, I2, etc.)
- Notes = if desired, add corresponding note number (ex. N1, N2, etc.)
In Source Citation textboxes, enter

- Record name = Grave Recorded [URL], where URL = the specific URL to the record page,
