  • An Empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings
    The Stockholm University Linnaeus Center for Integration Studies (SULCIS) Giving Up Foreign Names: An Empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings Mahmood Arai and Peter Skogman Thoursie SULCIS Working Paper 2007:1 ISSN 1654-1189 The Stockholm University Linnaeus Center for Integration Studies (SULCIS) SULCIS is a multi-disciplinary research center focusing on migration and integration funded by a Linnaeus Grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR). SULCIS consists of affiliated researchers at the Department of Criminology, the Department of Economics, the Department of Human Geography, the Department of Sociology and the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI). For more information, see our website: www.su.se/sulcis SULCIS Working Paper Series 2007:1 Arai, M & Skogman Thoursie, P., “Giving Up Foreign Names: An empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings” Giving up Foreign Names: An Empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings Mahmood Arai and Peter Skogman Thoursie ∗ December 20, 2006 Abstract In this paper we compare the earnings development for a group of immigrants that changes their names to Swedish-sounding or neutral names with immigrants who retain their names from the same region of birth. Our results indicate that name-changers are apparently similar to name-keepers and the earnings before the name change is essentially the same for both groups. However, an earnings gap after the name change is observed. The earnings gap corresponds to on average ap- proximately 26 percent. Our understanding of the data and our results is that the groups are similar before the name change and that the earnings gap after the name change should be attributed to the name change.

  • Scandinavian Research
    Scandinavian Research Scandinavia generally refers to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. However, Finland had the same record-keeping system as Sweden and often used the Swedish language in earlier records. Finnish research is similar to Swedish research. Icelandic research is similar to Danish. The Language: In order to do research, you need to learn some Scandinavian words, the alphabet, and how spellings have changed over time. This is not too difficult. Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are all Germanic languages, which means they are closely related to English, German, and to each other. As in English, some words have different forms: die, dies, died, death, dead, deceased, passed away. English Danish Norwegian Swedish father fader, far far fader mother moder, mor mor moder, mor wife hustru, kone kone hustru son sn snn son daughter datter datter dotter death dd, dde dd, dde död, döde baptized, christened daab, dpte dbt, dbte dop, döpte witness, witnesses fadder faddere fadder The Alphabet: Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish have three extra letters that English does not have. These come at the end of the alphabet: Danish and Norwegian: Swedish: Ä Ö Before 1956, in Danish was written as AA and came at the beginning of the alphabet. To write these letters on your computer, hold down the Alt key and type the following on the 10-key pad. Be sure the Num Lock key is on. (See “diacritics” in the help section of PAF.)

Personal Names . 42 I. INTRODUCTION Swedish American studies, including local history and genealogy, are among the best documented immigrant studies in the United States. This is the result of the Swedish genius for documenting almost every aspect of life from birth to death. They have, in fact, created and retained documents that Americans would never think of looking for, such as certificates of change of employment, of change of address, military records relating whether a soldier's horse was properly equipped, and more common events such as marriage, emigration, and death. When immigrants arrived in the United States and found that they were not bound to the single state religion into which they had been born, the Swedish church split into many denominations that emphasized one or another aspect of religion and culture. Some required children to study the mother tongue in Saturday classes, others did not. Some, more liberal than European Swedish Lutheranism, permitted freedom of religion in the new country and even allowed sects to flourish that had been banned in Sweden.

  • By Olga Lindberg the Village of New Amsterdam, Or Buffalo Creek As It Was Called in the Early 1800'S, Was a Rough Frontier Town
    F AMIL Y LIFE IN EARL Y BUFF ALO 1800-1840 By Olga Lindberg The village of New Amsterdam, or Buffalo Creek as it was called in the early 1800's,was a rough frontier town -a cluster of cabins and frame houses, stores, and taverns, scattered along a muddy road full of tree stumps and potholes. The Holland Land Company had just finished sur- veying the land and opened it to settlers. Families were arriving daily from eastern states to purchase lots and build homes in the new territory . To adventurers seeking a new life, the frontier presented a challenge ...but to families with young children, who had left comfortable homes in the east to face the unknown hardships and deprivations of pioneer life, the future was fraught with uncertainties. The wife found it difficult to adjust to the dreary surroundings and unceasing toil of the frontier. Alone much of the time in a remote cabin, she was awed by the solitude and oppressed by the silence of the woods. More frightening than the silence were the sounds of the night -the wolves howling around the cabin, and the screech of the panther and the wildcat in the deep forest. At first this lonely existence must have seemed almost unbearable, but large families were universal on the frontier and as her family increased, she learned to accept the rigors of the new life with remarkable courage. There was a need for many children in the pioneer home. From dawn to dusk the girls helped their mothers to care for the younger children and to spin, weave, sew, cook, and make candles while the boys performed the outdoor chores -planting, hoeing, weeding, milking, and keeping the wood box filled and the fires tended.
