Off topic: It's interesting to see that the Swedish lastname Tjärnström/Tjernström has changed to Shonstrom in the US. Shon is not even a close pronounciation of Tjärn/Tjern. The ä/e is pronounced more like an e in "send", and not like an o in "stone". This is one of the reasons why americans/canadians have problems tracing their ancestry into the Nordic countries, and why the Norse (as in people living in the Nordic countries today) have trouble tracing their family after they emigrated to the USA or Canada.
