The Ericson Family
(Spelling of the family name above is one of three I've found. Swedish patrynomics would dictate that the name be spelled Erickson. I have also found family members spelling the name Ericsson. Below I am using the common spelling shown above, except in cases where I have evidence of alternate spellings. This appears to be the most widely-used of the names.)
