- Did you know that the paternity of Swedish industry is attributed to the Walloons ? Anders Herou , President of the society of Swedish Walloons and ambassador of the brand Wallonia.be testifies .
Renowned for their expertise in the field of steel, a thousand Walloons emigrated with their families in Sweden in the 17th century to work in the forges of Upland . These Wallooners , Walloons in Sweden , are still the pride of their hundreds of thousands of descendants.
My father Ake Gille ( 1919 - 2004 ) was president of the Waloon organization of Sweden. He received a prestigious medal from the king of Belgium . He sponsored and lead my trips to the Walloon areas of Belgium and the 1970’s . I have saved all the newspaper clippings . Thank you for this UA-cam presentation
Finn with Walloon ancestry here :) they came to northern Sweden in the 1700s and their descendants eventually moved to Finland in the 1900s.
That explains one of my genetic groups. I have partial Belgian heritage, both Flemish and Walloon and I have Sweden show up as a location during the 1800s
My Great Grandfather immigrated to Australia in the 1880s and was from the Walloon family Hybinette .
I’ve always wondered why I don’t “look Swedish and Finnish” and I recently found out from my mum that it’s because we have Walloon ancestry, which is very prominent on me, my mother and grandfather. I don’t know much about my Walloon ancestry (like how much or when my ancestors came to Sweden), but here I am making research so I can know more about my Walloon ancestry!
Since I took a DNA test I have been wondering what is the story behind the finnish and Scandinavian dna in my family...

Im a swede with much walloon ancestry.
{Arlas Flensost} jo du din fjärt.
I just found out I was part Walloonian. Hadn’t even heard about it before.
I'm swedish with walloon ancestry too
hello from belgium
I'm a Swede with Wallonian heritage from the 17th century. I have some physical traits from that part :)
What are these traits? ;)
Shhh... I can't tell you here that's too private lol... no just kidding, it's darker brown hair, dark green eyes, bigger hands in relation to size. It's on my mothers side... A lot of people have thought that I'm a dark haired russian hehe... but I'm a Swede just with this spice added to my mixup :)
@@Mhj-76 Thank you ;) I thought people in Wallonia were quite white actually, but I was probably wrong
@@Almansur8 You're welcome hehe :) They have pale/fair skin and almost black hair, dark eyes (brown or green mostly). They came to Sweden in the 16th/17th century as blacksmiths and craftsmen with great knowledge to help build up the industry and the military. Many left Sweden later on, but a few remained here.
From wiki.
Five to ten thousand Walloons emigrated to Sweden, mainly working in the steel industry.
@@Mhj-76 are you sure it's not just that the mailman is of Russian heritage? ;)
Does anyone know when they stopped speaking Walloon?
Got to know recently we have walloon ancestry in the family.
walloon from my mother side
Tu peux être fier/ You can be proud 🇧🇪🇸🇪
I got the walloons to thank for my western european traits, haha.
Does anyone know what the wallonian language sounded like? I guess like french?
It's close to French, with a stronger Germanic influence.

Not quite that though, these have heavy french pronunciations and accents

So close french now, bed still exist wallonia langage.
@@Almansur8 no, wallons dialect is very old roman language. Langue d'oïl. / Only liège, Lütich, is more mixed with old German.-(tudesque) salut.
They can go on a field trip to Brussels and watch some Jean-Claude Van Damme films.
Not all Walloons have black hair or dark eyes, there are real Walloons with pale skin and blond hair. Greetings from Belgium from a half Walloon half Fleming.
interesting!
They should’ve stayed home
