Ancestor Mysteries

The blog provides a place where I and any guests can share old photos and/or the little mysteries that our Swedish or other Scandinavian ancestors left us. During one's Swedish/Scandinavian genealogy research, new people and places in the family history are uncovered, many with fascinating stories. Some of mine include a small Finnish island I cannot find, strange ingredients in my grandfather's recipes, like deer antler salt in his cookies, and regional costumes worn in the wrong region.
