I have a cousin who's been finishing the genealogy of my fathers side of the family. He sent out a letter letting us know it's finished.
I decided to check it out tonight. As it turns out we have traced ancestors back to 160, Finnish royalty and part of Finnish mythology.
One branch of the family was Scottish nobility as far back as we can trace, around 1060, that branch was shipped to the US as prisoners of war by Oliver Cromwell.
On both my mother's side and my father's side we have deep roots in the US. Back to 1609. Except for my mother's father's side of the family we've all been here no later than 1723. My grandfather's grandfathers and grandmothers were from Norway.
We are from Scotland, England, Finland, France and Norway. There are some great stories linked to many of my ancestors.
To Fornjotur King In Kvenland, I salute you.
