    1. Nystrom
    2. I posted a question recently about the Nystrom name. My Swedish great-grandfather went by that surname in the US, while his patronymic name was Peterson. Replies to my earlier post suggested that the Nystrom name would have had some significance pertaining to the family's address in Sweden. I have no other clues about their place of origin. Is this name associated with any particular part of the country or any other fact that might help me narrow my search? For the record: my great-grandfather's first name was Peter, and he had a brother named Hans, who retained the Peterson name in the US. Peter came to the US in about 1880. Both brothers lived in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nancy Groves Atlanta
