With such deep social and cultual roots associated to the provinces, it's not uncommon that immigrants referred to their origin in Sweden by the name of their province. They saw themselves as residents of a certain province such as Skåne, Ångermanland, and Dalarna rather than from a county. Emigrants from large cities, however, such as Stockholm or Göteborg usually gave their origin by the name of the city. | With such deep social and cultual roots associated to the provinces, it's not uncommon that immigrants referred to their origin in Sweden by the name of their province.
