Great Grandpa's Citizenship, 1941

Great Grandpa's Citizenship, 1941
Originally uploaded by cy_mn

Wow. My Great-Grandpa came from Sweden and lived in Boston for awhile before settling in Minneapolis and the western suburbs (Golden Valley). This is his certificate of citizenship. He was born in 1887, and became a US citizen in 1941, when he was 64 years old. I'm a fourth generation immigrant and do not think about my roots that much.. so it is so cool to have this tangible link to my heritage, as well as immigrants of today.

Ever wonder what's going on around town? I do! And then I visit Thrifty Hipster, City Pages, Vita.mn, and even my sustag (sustainable agriculture) listserv to get some options together. That search is now a little simpler after I stumbled upon a U of M based concatenation: http://events.tc.umn.edu/around town ! Sweeeet.
