Thank you so much, Jim! This is what I suspected, but I couldn't figure out the "ram" component of the name. Google translate came up with "frame" but that didn't seem to make sense, like "paw".
I haven't been able to trace my Ramgren line very far back, presumably because the family took this name in the 19th century. The swedes seem really great about record keeping - I wish there were a record of which families changed names and when.
Thank you again for your help!
