Sweden has the highest number of McDonald restaurants, per capita, in Europe.
A McDonald's combo meal that costs $6.00 in Chicago costs $9.95 in Sweden.
In the early 20th century my paternal grandparents, Richard Kallman and Lydia Abrahamson, immigrated from Sweden, coming to a new life in Chicago. I've been researching my family for over twenty five years. In this blog I will share the family history, photos, documents and stories that I have collected, along with my memories of growing up Scandinavian-American in Chicago. Welcome to My Swedish-Chicago Heritage!
