Then there ofcourse where the religiious people as well, but those were
not the main swedish emigrants.

I think Sweden was the last due to stricter religious laws but the LDS
church launched a Scandinavian Mission in the 1850s and the converts were
encouraged to emigrate to Utah. I don't know if they told the recruits the
whole story.

That's backwards of the usual pattern like the various Anabaptist groups
that bounced around Europe before heading to America. When Russia started
to crack down on their use of German the Mennonites and Hutterites even
sent scouts. The Dakotas looked like home.

Around here Hutterite turkeys and other produce are very popular.
