At the turn of the 20th century, Chicago had the second largest Swedish population of any city in the world. In this hands-on workshop you can trace your unique story and find out more about your family history. Meet one-on-one with experts for help with genealogy research, translations and more. In addition to the museum’s own researchers, two genealogists from Sweden - Elisabeth Thorsell and Ingrid Nilsson - as well as the North American representative of Arkiv Digital, Kathy Meade, will be present to answer any questions about the research.
