My maternal grandparents, Paul and Dagmar Sevald were Ellis Island immigrants coming from Norway and settling in Chicago, Illinois in the early 1920's. In this blog I post photos, documents, stories, memories and thoughts about my Norwegian ancestry, heritage, family and my life growing up Scandinavian-American in Chicago. WELCOME!
One hundred and twenty two years ago on June 10th 1900, my Norwegian grandmother Dagmar was born. Each June 10th, as summer begins, I remember her with love.
