SWEDISH VOTERS OF CHICAGO, 1888

Referring to today's tip about the Chicago Voters, you might want to
know that Nils William Olsson, F.A.S.G., of Winter Park, FL, in 2000
published a book "Swedish Voters of Chicago 1888" in which he had
identified several hundreds of them in other sources like the
"Chicago City Directory" or the records of the Swedish American
churches of the area. In this way he helped their descendants to find
out more about their immigrating ancestor. Chicago in 1900 had more
Swedes than Gothenburg, the second-largest city in Sweden.
