Notes
a. Note:   ame was Swanson. When he came through immigration, an "ignorant Irishman" told him to change it, because there were too many Swansons in Minnesota already. Well, that man may or may not have been ignorant, but he was absolutely right about the number of Swansons, and the advisability of having a somewhat more unique name. So Swan changed the last syllable of his surname to "strom", which means "stream" in Swedish, and is common in Swedish names (i.e., Lindstrom, Hagstrom, Chelstrom).
  According to the Swedish records, Svante Swanson and at least one brother used the surname Swanstrom, even in Sweden.
Note:   According to the story told by his daughter, Esther, Swan's original surn
b. Note:   to his Zetterberg nephew and nieces
