Enholm families of Washington State and Sweden

Posted: 25 Jun 2009 3:35AM GMT
Classification: Immigration
Surnames: Enholm
New information has been found in research for Frans Jonsson Enholm (father of Swedish immigrants Sigfried Enholm and David Enholm, who immigrated in 1924 to U.S.) Frans legally changed his name in Sweden from Jonsson to Enholm, and records indicate that Frans was born on the isle of Enholmen (formally thought to be the ranch name of a residence that he worked at).

The isle of Enholmen was an inlet where Sweden built a defense fortress (and Frans' father Elias Jonsson owned a hardware supply store at the time they started constructing the fortress.)
