Hello, here's a screenshot of some of my chromosome 19 matches. The top one has an English name but the bottom 6 have completely Finnish names, ancestral surnames and heritage. The block size varies between 7 and 12 centimorgans but it's usually 7.8cM from 48m to 53m. I have established links to New Sweden but none of them share this bit of DNA. There's several matches in the United States who I share a common ancestral name of Hale. Considering I'm fairly certain with my tree prior to early 19th century and it's all United States, does anyone know how to establish my Finnish ancestors?

Hello, my name is Marie Rundquist and I've entered my Family Finder results here. I was born in the State of Maryland in the USA, where I still live today; my father's people are from the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland (Somerset County), and it is through my father's line that I match several families within this project. I only speak English and apologize for inability to communicate otherwise. My latest 2019 Family Finder matches reveal a direct ancestral link with project members who appear to have full, native, Finnish ancestry and surnames. If you are reading this post, look for me by name in your matches. Here is a sampling of what I find in Chromosome Browser for Finnish "in common with" matches, many of them members of this project (at 5 CM). This is my Ancestry Tree (public) and the line to trace is for Frank H. Pierce III (my late father) whose Y-line was for the Bounds surname. His mother's line traces through her Brown surname. https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/29891233/family/pedigree

Johan Erik Runeborg f. Magnusson 1855 i Ljungå Jämtland. son till Magnus Larsson f. 1826 i Solberg nr1, Ekshärad Värmland. Magnus var yngste son till Lars Larsson Björn f. 1781 i Solberg, Ekshärad. Äldste sonen lars tog över hemmanet och magnus samt en bror drog norrut till skogarna Jämtland och medelpad. Magnus gifte sig med bonddottern Märta Greta eriksdotter och Johan Erik är deras första barn. Han är Kents farfars far.

Jag administrerar min kusin Kents konto och det här är en del av vår historia i Värmland. Märta Nilsdotter flyttade med föräldrarna till Alnö i Sundsvall 1888 och gifte sig och bildade familj med Nils Gustaf Nilsson Vedin från Kila. Vi är barnbarns barnbarn till hennes son Karl Viktor Wilhelm Vedin f. 1883 Alnö, Sundsvall. Det här är historia vi inte känner till och det är fantastiskt att finna sina rötter tycker vi.

Photo from Suomen Hopeaveroluettelot 1571 V:8 SAVO- Finlands Silverskatteregister 1571 V:8 SAVOLAX ( for "Älvsborgs lösen 1571"). In that register have many ancestors of Finn-Forests's peole, old and their descendents. I have mayny Family Finder cousins ,who have ancestors from Finn Forests (Sweden ansd Norway) Here some talk his ancestor Henrik Andersson Hänninen (1605-1685). I found from that Silverskatteregister 1571> in Vesulahti ochh Pellosniemi socknar side 73 in Annan tionde only one man, who have first name Anders> Anders Hännin -ödhe hu-( =Hänninen) who had owned > 4 mk kopper, one "sheep"-lammas and his skatte was 2 öre and 6 pennings. House of Hänninen was " ödhe" -deserted. If they have moved out to Finn-Forest,who knows!

Skogfinns from Norge and Sweden or Finland? My matches ( 5th.DNA cousin faraway)in DNAGedcom in chromosome 219849404 - 18429890 7.7cM

This is my younger brother Christopher John Nelson. He resembles the man in the photo of the couple below by Rachel. Does anyone else see a strong resemblance? Isn't DNA amazing? He just needs a moustache!

Another guy from Torsby, Sweden

This couple was in a velvet book I have on my Swedish ancestors. The photo was taken by Aug Pehrson in Torsby Sweden. I am wondering if it could be the parents of my Great Grandma, Mary Nilsdotter Vaissinen Bergstrom. Her parents were Nils Vaissinen Jansson Bergstrom and Marie Persdotter. They were born in 1832 and 1835 respectively. Nils was born in Ostmark and Marie was born in Vitsand, Sweden. If you would like to reach me, feel free to email rrjgen@hotmail.com I have Vassinens, Maninens, and other Finnish surnames.

What an interesting trip in Finnforest of Sweden and Norway! We were a group of Finnish Family Researchers (mostly from Savo) visiting this beautiful area meeting our distant dna-cousins. (August 28.- September 2.) Special thanks to Jan Myhrvold for the guiding!
