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!

ANOTHER SUNDAY....ANOTHER SWEDISH PROVERB
"Den som köper det han inte behöver stjäl från sig själv"
Literal translation: He who buys what he does not need steals from himself.
Perhaps the accumulation of "stuff" is a uniquely American pastime?
