Today I thought I would talk about the Forest Finns.  I learned that I am not only a Swede, but a Finn and Norwegian too.  I am in a DNA project that, as I understand, the people at the head of the project are going to track where the Forest Finns lived and where they went.   If you are any of the above nationalities, it wouldn't hurt to find out if you, too, are a Forest Finn.  It is a little easier to track your line if you are.  My Swedes were Janssons, Nilssons, Nilsdotters and Bergstroms.  They are the variations of my Bergstrom line.  It was much easier when I learned the Finnish Surname was Vaissinen.  Much easier then Nilsson!  I will import a link where you can learn more about the Forest Finns if you wish.Forest Finn Highlights by Maud Wedin.  And some images.  I hope you enjoy this fascinating story from Sweden.
