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!

Unidentified Family Member?
This photo came from family in Sweden (Abrahamson line) unidentified. A handsome fellow for sure, the photographer was Swedish but I can't say that his look is at all familiar to me or resembles anyone I would have known or seen a photo of previously. Ostra Halland is in the province of Halland which is on the Western coast of Sweden if that is any help? Klingwall was a prominent photographer born 1858. That and the gentlemans dress seem to indicate the timeframe to be turn of the century? Any thoughts or ideas?
