Come On In

Good morning and welcome, again...

Today, I feel better about inviting everyone in, except of course we don't have much "furniture" in the house yet. We will add that as we go.

So, what's this all about? First and foremost, a curiosity to learn more about the myths, the history and the culture of the Finns. Our goal is to put that learning to use in telling stories. Not merely the standard immigrant stories, the biographies if you will, which are useful and informative if sometimes repetitive, but the real dramas which capture the essence of human history where individual actions made a difference in the world that followed.

We today look too often at history as something distant and unrelated to who we are and what we have to do to make our way in life. That, as you may suspect, is patently untrue. What this blog intends to service is the opening of an awareness, in regards the Finnish people, of the relevance of their history.

We encourage, even solicit, your contributions. Add comments as you like. We will shortly add additional ways for you to contact us, because we would like to hear what you have to add on this subject, whether personal memories or stories your grandparents told you. All are welcome.
