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!

"Picking up a brand new Chevy in Gothenburg"
This photo was titled "picking up a brand new Chevy in Gothenburg".
Left to right are; Seth Abrahamsson-Majholm, Margaretha Abrahamsson Hedman, Hulda Olivia Andersson Abrahamsson and Gustav Abrahamsson
In the beginning of the fifties Seth worked some years for Skandinaviska Bokförlaget in Stockholm, the Seventhday Adventist publishing house. When the company upgraded to a bigger car, a Chevy was ordered wich then arrived and had to be picked up at the harbour of Gothenburg. Seth was the lucky man chosen to do this.
This was a very great occasion for him. As Östra Frölunda isn't so far off track from Gothemburg to Stockholm, of course he took the chance to visit his fathers house. Isn't it a trace of proudness in his otherwise always humble face when he poses for a photo together with Margareta, Hulda and Gustaf?
