I need to connect with that area. My Great grandfather was a Professor in the late 1800s. I do not speak Swedish.

It's easy to reach from Stockholm. Don't worry about Swedish, English is THE second language for all of Scandinavia. Virtually everyone you meet, and certainly any college student, will speak outstanding English.

What specifically is your question? How to get to Uppsala? And from where? From both Stockholm city and airport, it takes less than an hour to reach by rail. Trains depart frequently all day. PS- I've only passed through Uppsala on a train, so that's pretty much all the information I can offer.
