What is the back story behind them having swedish surnames?


Alot of swedes emigrated to the US around 1800-1900s and spread all over the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_emigration_to_the_Unit...


Thanks. Tangentially, search for "The Alot is Better Than You at Everything"



Oh that makes "Alot of swedes" a terrifying concept.


That's exactly the case for my family! However, we lost our umlaut at Ellis Island.
