If you are planning a trip to Sweden or if you are just interested in learning some of the basics of the Swedish language I found this great free website. Give it a try?
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!

Have you ever wished you knew a little Swedish?
The little (and I mean miniscule) bit of Swedish I know I picked up from my genealogy hobby, looking at old Swedish records. The fact that I know född, gift, död, begraven (born, married, dead and buried) really does not come into much demand in everyday life. The few phrases from childhood maybe only a bit more. Tack för maten ( thanks for the food) and one phrase I heard a bit and for good reason (then as now I am a talker) tyst med dig! (be quiet!).
