The Lundquists
(Under construction)
People in the red boxes are people born in Sweden who migrated to the US. Not all children are shown in this chart.
All the people in the above chart originated from a fairly small area in Scania (Skåne), the southern most part of Sweden.
The migration from this part of the country was not as intense as from other parts of Sweden. This due to the fact that the soil here was/is very rich and it was fairly easy to provide for the family. But there were other reasons for people to leave. The church had a very firm grip of the people which they in general didn't like, rumors about the country of possibilities etc etc. And some people were just adventurous.
