There are several very good research helps on the web site of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormons). Go to the tab marked "Search" and look for "Research Helps" and then look for "S" as in "Sweden" and scroll down the page. There are a number of downloadable pdf-files there.
