- This video is obviously not the most in-depth look at this history, but I just wanted to highlight this part of Finnish-American history. If there is anything glaring that you think I missed, please leave it in the comments below!
As a Finnish-American, who grew up in Finland, living for decades in lsrael, l am fascinated by Finnish history, mythology, sociology, geography and culture. As a proud American, the history of New Sweden especially fascinates me. Too bad this video was not longer!
wtf this is actually good content
What the fuck, i was just about to say that
Very interesting! Even as a small-scale Finnish-American history buff I did not know this.
Thanks for sharing. I’m a Finnish-American from Michigan and I love history. On a side note…that Olympic Gold Medal sure does look good on the Finnish hockey team!
I like the video and i disagree on finger guns being disrespectful.
The feeling when you know more finnish history than me... Awesome video!
I found out through some genealogy research that Erik Mullica is my 10th great grandfather. Peter Gunarsson Rambo, a founder of New Sweden, is also my 10th great grandfather. Pretty interesting stuff.
Very neat piece of history that I had no idea about! Also, nothing wrong with the finger guns.
Jaakko sent me here and this was gold! Will show it to my American friends.
I drove by that house dozens of times in my teenage learning to drive years... glad i never crashed into it!
The classic log cabin of the American Frontier can be considered Finnish is origin as well.
Did not know this, greetings from Finland!
Awesome, honestly would be great to see more about the subject. Also finger-guns are the definiton of cool
Thank you for this very cool bit of history. When I had family in NYC, where I grew up, I would drive up from Virginia many times a year and passed Swedesboro and all these places several hundred times over the decades. Never even knew this terrific piece of history was just a little detour away. Excellent.
I live in south New Jersey. Originally from Helsinki . I need to go check out the area. Very interesting.
I'd love to see some longer more indepth videos about Finnish american history or whatever really.
Working on one right now!
i knew about this, as a Finn i have "studied" history of Finnish people in America's, interesting stuff.
Wheh you dug deep. As a Finn it's interesting stuff to learn as not much of it was covered in school. Keep this content going!
I read this book called Findians which was about the Finn settlers coming into contact with Native Americans and they got a long pretty well.
Nice bit of history!
I am a Descendant of Antti Mulikka and the Forest Finns. Mulicca Hill as it is called today still sits in New Jersey.
Search the name above and you will find PDF files from the Mulikka Family.
Hard to believe since one of my friends growing up lived in a 300 year old log house... a big one, too. Later Ive realized even those are really really rare.
This is really interesting. I'm originally from Maryland, so this isn't too far from there. Maybe I will have time to visit next time I'm with my family there. Thanks to Riitta who sent me your video and introduced me to your channel.
Amazing work Matthew. Again. 🤌
Great video! I am a Forest Finn - a descendant of Finns who migrated in the same period as the people you talk about in this video, but settled in Sweden and eastern Norway instead of going to America. Eric Pålsson Mullica, whom you mention, is a cousin (first cousin once removed, to be precise) of my own direct ancestor, Staffan Pålsson Mulikka who settled in Norway near the border with Sweden :) The Forest Finns are legally recognised as a so-called national minority here in Norway, and a lot of us are descendants of the Mulikka family.
Greetings from Finland. Hyvää Joulua teille. Merry Chrtistmas!
Great informative video, thanks Schilke!
Hey, nice to find vids about Finns, my countrymen, in USA and i dig the history buff aspects. U talk some finnish, i guess, if u spent 3 yrs in Finland. Well, atleast u can curse, ask for beer n booze, maybe some slick lines to hit in the bars? Kippis🍻
Lol as a Fin in south Jersey alway thought it was weird that there was such an old Finnish population outside of Philadelphia too. Finns were the outcasts of Sweden, so as a kid it made sense. It wasn’t until I went to school in Finland and it look like my hometown it made sense. Great video. It’s nice seeing those places online.
Finns weren't even considered white until the late 19th century
wow i didnt know this! :D btw your videos seem very well edited, im surprised these dont have more views but youtube is kinda random i quess.
This was great, and the finger guns were fine.
Yes, I did know about the cabin but wanted to learn more during THIS shut-down. Great video. Nice job! A born teacher you are. Yeah, ditch the fingers. Listen to your videographer. Too "shmaltzy".
Hey nice video, could u do a video of your time in the finnish army?
I’ve got something planned! Especially with my brother heading to the army in a few weeks
@@SchilkeSmooth Cool, looking forward to it!
I liked the finger guns matti. Don’t worry about it. Also, great vid.
Thanks. Interesting. Finger guns were cool when I was younger. Today they have different meaning.
Have you researched the Finn in the Egyptian tomb?
I knew about Morton and log cabin but this video was good summary. I'm Finnish by the way.
You are a Kven. Proud history, there even was a Kvenland with kings and queens.
My brand went north. You lucky bastards went to..Amerika.
Nice production, regards from Norway
I knew about this! New Sweden is familiar to many history buffs in Finland, I think
Nice sopranos reference, thank you for clarifying the REAL pine barrens. Great vid tho
The oldest known Finnish log cabin is in Finland and over 500 years old :) St. Henry's Chapel in Kokemäki, it was build around the original 1400's barn/cabin in the 1830's in stone to preserve it
Pleas link to this. Kitos
Oh come on, you can barely call that a log cabin, it’s a few pieces of wood inside a brick church.
@@Joey-bv5wn fair enough
Keep up the quality content's going!
NICEEE !!
I didn't know most of this stuff! Very interesting.
Great quality 👍
god tier content.
ps torille
seison tääl pakkasessa, missä sä?
As a viewer, finger guns are a slap in the face. Rest of the video makes up for it
ha ha
Good video! New Sweden was founded by The (probably) Waloon, Peter Minuit, also the founder of New Amsterdam. When he ran afoul of The Dutch West Indies Company he was hired by Sweden and sent by Sweden with two ships to found New Sweden. When I, as a Finnish American raised in the UP was young , New Sweden was well known to Finns in the UP. The history of Finnish Americans, and indeed Finland was more general then than it was for decades and is now well known again, thanks to a resurgence of Finnish American institutions such as The Finnish American Reporter and the Finnish American Heritage Center , both in Hancock, Michigan and housed together on the campus of Finlandia University( formerly Suomi College. Americans usually know more about their ethnic backgrounds and cultures generally these days, thanks in part to the internet and videos like yours.
Really cool bit of information. Do you have any references for the build date?
Here’s where I gathered most of my information on the house, and a bit from the Rutgers University archives. Unfortunately the cabin was closed for interviews/tours due to COVID.

Also this is another cool article albeit paywalled www.nytimes.com/2000/04/23/nyregion/on-the-map-this-old-house-is-really-old.html
@@SchilkeSmooth OK thanks! I have to let my father know about this, his father was among the builders of Oulu "rintamamiestalot" in Karjasilta area, houses that were built for 1nd World War veterans by... I think City with some funds from Finnish government (not a clue really where money came from).
👌
0:11 Building a sauna 😓
hyvää joulua!
Are you familiar with a prominent moto cross motor cycle racer named Ular Rassmann, he's not German, because I definitely saw Scandinavian words to report his exploits. I believe he could be Finnish or Estonian, what is your take on this? I researched the name, my grandmother's maiden name actually, and it shows a small group of Rassmanns in Finland and Estonia. The name is primarily German, if you could reply to me on this I would appreciate it, thanks. I'm from New Jersey as well.
New Jersey takaisin Suomelle!
everything is in NJ.😂
now i know
noice
New Sweden?? 😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧
For once the swedes not given the satisfaction of being the first 😅🤣 OK... can't wait for the comments. Just saying a Finn living in OZ.
Well back in 1638 Finland was a region of Sweden and had been for hundreds of years 😉😉
Interesting but back in 1638 what is now Finland was a part of Sweden and had been for hundreds of years, it was taken from Sweden by the Russians in 1809 and didn't become the nation of Finland until after WWI
americans think 1600s is ancient, lmao
