 === <br>Cultural Context <br> ===
+To put your Swedish emigrant in his/her cultural context, and to obtain a greater appreciation of what he/she may have experienced in this country, you may want to read the&nbsp;series&nbsp;written by Vilhelm Moberg.&nbsp; He used descriptions and information found in actual letters sent between an emigrant family and their relatives left in Sweden to create a wonderful historical epic.&nbsp; The 4 volume series is called ''The Emigrants ''- with each book having a subtitle.&nbsp; They are available in any public library, and at bookstores.&nbsp;
+Other excellent&nbsp; descriptions about life in Swedish cities and villages, and life as a Swedish soldier are found in the papers given at the 1980 World Conference on Records, held in Salt Lake City.&nbsp; '''Volume 8''' is the one to access for Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries.
