Sorry for the confusion. Yes, my ancestor emigrated in 1881 to Bridgeport, Connecticut in the USA and settled for perhaps a dozen years keeping his name on documents, census reports and city directories as Malmström. Then after 1900 the m was dropped and the family and any subsequent children were referred to as Malstrom, which is used today. We have no information as to why this decision to change the name occurred.
