Titel: Did people from the Aland Islands come to Sweden, too?
Skrivet av: Carla Tweeton skrivet 2020-07-30, 04:23

I recently found a note saying that a family maybe came from Raisala and Aland Islands to Kronoberg County in Sweden.  My DNA shows a small Finland percentage in addition to Norwegian and Swedish ???

Thanks for reading

Until 1809 it was just a move in the swedish kingdom. Åland, and the rest of todays Finland, was a part of Sweden but was lost to Russia. Since Åland was almost 100% swedish speaking it was natural to move to Sweden to get a job or education.
