Post #48,328 by ben_tilly 8/6/02 6:42:10 AM Reply	Sounds like me Replace the Swedish with some Finnish suspected to be descended from Swedes. Canadian isn't a race so give me that nationality. Replace Scottish with Irish (anyways the name Scottish derives from scotti, and old name for the Irish), and drop some hints about what might or might not lie in the "God only knows what else" bit. That's me. :-) Cheers, Ben "Perl is like vice grips. You can do anything with it, and it's the wrong tool for every job." --Unknown
Post #48,424 by molbdron 8/6/02 3:25:32 PM Reply	Re: Sounds like me Very interesting point regarding Swedish/Finnish.

Post #48,532 by CRConrad 8/7/02 2:09:30 PM Reply	"Ain't no such thing", alt. "Used to be all of it". The Flower of the North confides: As I understand it for me the territory where my "folks" came from was a Finnish island under Swedish rule (I don't remember which island at this point......... There's no such thing as "a Finnish island under Swedish rule"; there haven't been any border disputes for pretty much exactly two centuries now, so all islands under Finnish rule are Finnish and all islands under Swedish rule are Swedish. Oh, sure, there are pockets of the opposite language (and thus I guess you could say "culturally Finnish islands under Swedish rule") in both countries... but everybody is pretty much satisfied with the citizenship they have; I know for sure that Finland-Swedes cheer on Finnish, not Swedish, athletes at international competitions. Unless you mean your ancestors emigrated before 1809; then all Finnish islands -- as well as the mainland -- were "under Swedish rule", because they were just simply a part of Sweden. But that was no kind of foreign "rule" (as your way of putting it seems to imply); there never was an independent entity "Finland" before the Czar created the semi-autonomus Grand Duchy out of his newly-acquired ex-Swedish territories.
