HOLSTROM/HOLMSTROM SWEDEN TO MINNESOTA
Researching my husbands genealogy and found that the surname HOLMSTROM is/was also spelled "Holstrom". The family came to USA about 1888 (according to census) and settled in Minnesota. My husbands line is John, Herbert, Lloyd. Hope to find some family connections and information on where they came from in Sweden.
