1961 Chicago, Illinois top row - Melvin, Ebba, Eva and Laverne - bottom row - Albin, Lydia and Richard |
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!

1961 The Kallman Family
I visited my brother this past week in Fort Worth Texas and came across this photo I had never before seen in an album of his. "I thought you had a copy of this", he said. I did not and was pleased to get this photo of my grandparents and their adult children. I could be wrong but I believe this photo was taken on the occasion of Richard and Lydia's 50th anniversary. I was only 9 at the time but I feel confident that I recognized her dress as the one she wore to the party given for them.
Grandpa looks a bit grumpy doesn't he? Just as I remember him!
