# Proveniens in English!
Author: AndersE

Hi! 

I am your host on this site - "Proveniens iFokus".

Proveniens is a Swedish word for Provenance. The word means descent or origin, and the idea behind “Proveniens iFokus” is to bring people with different areas of interest in “the underlying” - the background story - together.

So if you are interested in Swedish genealogy or Swedish history - this could be the site for you.

Unfortunately iFokus doesn’t have an English version. However, I do believe that a lot of our members would like to help any guest  posting a question/query here in English. So here is a way to approach “Proveniens iFokus” in English:

*   Go to [Google language tools](http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en! )  
    

"Proveniens" in Google translate version l[ooks like this](http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://proveniens.ifokus.se/&sl=sv&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8.)[ ](http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://proveniens.ifokus.se/&sl=sv&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8.)

You will quickly realize that the translation is far from perfect. I still hope it is good enough to help you make some of the information on the site available to you. I also hope that you will let us help you. Please ask about anything!
