Introducing the SweAme blog

Does the non-profit organization Swedish America Heritage Online (SweAme) need a "blog space"?

I am not sure, but I wanted to try it to see if anyone would be interested.

This first blog is to provide you a LINK to information that is being gathered on Stockholm, Texas.  Yes, I said Stockholm, Texas.  You, as most of us, most likely have never heard of such a place.  Details on this now ghost town are being gathered as we speak and is now partially available on http://www.sweame.org/.  From the SweAme website Public Home Page select the Albums tab on the left and Search for the "Stockholm Colony" album.  Enjoy learning about a very interesting group of people who attempted to establish a significant Swedish presence in the lower Rio Grande valley area of Texas.
