I Am Finnish

I've decided a while ago to persue learning as much as I can about my heritage, but I'm not getting too far.
It all started when my grandmother on my mother's side passed away last year. She is my Finnish lineage, and I always sort of...

I live on an group of islands between Finland and Sweden which are a part of Finland but according to some finnish people we are not finnish since the only official language here is swedish. In the law it says Finland has officially two...

I do, I really, really do. My friends think I'm insane, and talk weird. I have a slight accent, despite living in America my whole life. I got it from my grandmother, who called me her "Little Finnish Doll". According to her, I got all...

Isänmaallisuus ei varsinaisesti ole kovin läheinen asia, kieli on suomalaisuudesta suurimpana merkkinä. Ja umpimielinen, kyyninen luonne jos asian haluaa niin tulkita. Ei minulla ole suomalaisuudesta edes kummoista sanottavaa. H...

  Niin kaunista <3

I'm 1/4 Russian Karelian and I'm proud of the fact.
My mother's father and his parents were born and raised in Karelia, and I feel emotionally connected with them. Some of our relatives still live there behind the border.
Some might say...

I am 3/4 Finn on my dad's side; the other is either Swede or Norse. I'm still researching that thru Ancestry.com. They mainly came from Tornio in the north. We are among the millions that had our name changed at Ellis Island to Anderson...

My great grandparents came here from Finland. My grandma married my grandpa, who is also 100% Finnish. So my mom is all Finnish too. I am proud to be Finnish. I have yet to meet anyone that is at least part Finnish in the US that isn't...

I've been getting allot of fucking messages saying your just a psychopath who needs help or why are you following a cartoon god. Ill say it again I HATE ANIME WHICH MEANS I HATE NARUTO i have better things to do than watch a...

My grandparents came from Finland in the early 1900's. My father spoke fluent Finnish but I never learned and now wish I had. It seems so hard!!! 

I did quite a bit of genealogy work and discovered that my great-grandfather was...

You have a lot to do in a short period of time. As a Project Manager you need to manage people, tasks and money wisely if you're to succeed. You need to know real-time every day, whether you're on track. That's where Project Manager...

She came over on the Lusitania when she was just 17 years old from Vihante (I think that is how you spell it). They said there was a storm at sea and everyone was ordered below deck, but she was found still on the deck hanging on to the...

My dad's family emigrated from Finland to Canada in the early 1900's and my mom's family emigrated from Scotland around the same time.  So I am a 50/50% mix.  Yet, I am told often how Finnish I look, act and feel and that is...

My grandmother's family came to the US from Finland in the early 1900's. First my great-grandfather came with his older sons apparently to escape conscription into the Russian army. They worked in the upper peninsula of Michigan in...

Or, that's what my grandpa calls it. He says what runs in my blood is the dark skin of the northern laplanders, or something like that.

I'm a quarter Finnish, so it's the main part of my ethnicity. Even though I supposedly have this...
