[Surname] Is Ecklund Swedish?
I noticed Ecklund on the list of most common Swedish surnames. Since it's not in the database, I wondering if it is Swedish, or if it is from or is common in other countries. I have a friend with this last name.I have also searched ancestry.com, and it appears that while a lot of people left from England, many also left from Sweden.Thank you.
