Family history/genealogy has long been an interest in my family, so yes, we've learned a lot. Most of my Scandinavian ancestors were fishermen and/or farmers. My one Finn drowned, while he was still quite young, so that may be one of the reasons his origins are difficult to trace. I've seen at least six possible people on the Finland side, but his surnames are very clearly Swedish, so there's quite a story to unravel if we can.
Thankfully, I can read enough Swedish to get through a lot of the records once I can decipher their handwriting.
I'll try to do another genealogy post, perhaps, this weekend and you can see some of what I've been working on.
