I was just looking to find some Swedish relatives on a site, and looking through some immigrant history, and I thought this was a neat "fact". Also, Is there any possibility that this paper has been put on Microfilm or something at the Library?? The first Swedish-language newspaper, HEMLANDET, was issued in Galesburg, Ill., in 1855. >>>>>>>>>Chris ^--^ (>'o'<) (,,) (,,)
