Hello,
I would like to know the meaning of the surname Helgren. My husband's great grandfather immigrated in 1881/1882 (John Alexis Helgren b. 10/30/1857)from Smaland. The family story is that the orginal surname was Aberson/Abrahamson/Anderson and that is was changed to Helgren on arrival in America. Supposedly, their were three brothers who immigrated at the same time and took the names of Helgren, Gustafson, and Foster. I am totally lost as to how to research his family history.
