Genealogy Meeting

Gather with fellow ASHM members and explore the branches of your Swedish ancestry! Genealogy Club is a benefit of ASHM membership. At this meeting, learn about the voyage to America our Swedish ancestors took during the time between 1850 to 1930 from Gothenburg, Sweden.  We will also learn more about the basics of the Swedish Nobility records and the online records that are available. Bring your questions, tell us about your research experiences and share in research time in the library following our meeting!

Pea Soup Dinner

Warm up on a chilly winter’s night with a bowl of Swedish yellow pea soup. Dinner is served with sharp cheese, crisp bread, dessert and a shot of Arrak punsch. For those unfamiliar with the taste, Arrak punsch has a harmonious fusion of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes, with a hint of caramel and a warming, lingering finish. The base concentrate is mixed with Svedka vodka and is perfect to warm you up on a cold winter night! One shot is included with the meal and additional drinks can be purchased at the bar. Must be 21+ to sample.
