	The Story of the Finns in America
		The story of Finns in America goes back to the beginning of America, and the story of Americans is the story of immigrants and descendants of immigrants of various races.
		The first Finns arrived in Fitchburg about 1880, although it has been stated that in 1888, a Finnish employee of the Putnam Machine shop was approached by a fellow worker who asked the Finnish man if he would look at some letters and papers left by his folks in a metal box.
		Not very long ago there was quite a contingent of "bad men" among the Finns, but these have become less numerous because their country men would not tolerate them, and now the fingers of one hand would be sufficient to count the few who get their names on the police records.

	Finland Diary
		Most likely because Finns are from a nation with an ethnic make-up of everyone being the same, thus all the fear of foreigners, other religions or refugees isn't equated to being racism while in the true, real world meaning of the term it is exactly that.
		Finns do not oppose "white" immigration, whites could (are sometimes) actually be preferred by employers, whereas colored people could have a hard time finding jobs in Finland, even with education.
		Finns do not seriously think they will go extinct either, there are things in the papers like "the last finn will be born in 2050", but that is not about race but to get us to accept retirement benefit cuts, for example...

		Finn’s Point Rear Range Lighthouse is located in the Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge which is under the authority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
		The intent was to replace this temporary light by moving the cast-iron tower from Finn's Point Rear Range Light Station across the river.
		In 1950, after the Army Corps of Engineers dredged the river channel to 180 feet wide and 40 feet deep, the Finns Point range lights became obsolete and the light was permanently extinguished in 1951.

	Racial Myths - Finns
		That means that at some point in history, Finland was inhabited by Turko-Mongol people who had to have been numerous enough to impose their language on the region and who must have subsequently been absorbed into the invading Indo-European populations.
		On the whole the Finns are physically just what one would expect from their history: an amalgamation between an intrusive Eastern Finnish population, Scandinavian Nordics, and earlier elements local to the eastern Baltic shores.
		Similar research on the Finns' paternal line of descent (Y-chromosome DNA) revealed "evidence for a substantial paternal genetic contribution of Asians to northern European populations such as the Finns" (Zerjal et al., Am J Hum Genet, 1997).

		Finns pay considerably higher taxes -- nearly half their national income is taken in taxes, while Americans pay about 30 percent on average to federal, state and local governments.
		Finns speak of the Finnish National Project, an effort involving much of the country, and nearly all of its elites, to make the country more educated, more agile and adaptive, more green, more fair and more competitive in a fast-changing global economy.

	Evan Haefeli \| The Revolt of the Long Swede: Transatlantic Hopes and Fears on the Delaware, 1669 \| The Pennsylvania ...
		Historian and genealogist Peter Craig claims the term Finn "was restricted to persons whose primary language was Finnish." Language, not geography, was the deciding factor since "all of the 'Finns' who came to the Delaware came from provinces in present Sweden (principally Värmland) and bore Swedish names.
		But it is clear that these so-called Finns had a strong sense of their rights and dignity that kept the English authorities on edge for years.
		And there were a number of points of tension which, when tied to the specter of reconquest, produced the repression of a revolt that could have been.

	The Origin and Genetic Background of the Sámi
		The Finns and the Sámi maintained their separate language identity even at a time when other Uralic speakers were losing their language to the Indo-Europeans.
		The Finns had always been thought of as the more dominant group but now new theories claiming that it was the Finns who got their language from the Sámi have started to arise.
		After the divergence of the Finns from the Sámi, the Sámi tended to have offspring within their own group; however, the influence from the Baltic and Germanic people caused the Finns to intermix with other Indo-Europeans, making them more genetically similar to the Europeans than the Sámi are.

	Immigration...Scandinavian: The Finns
		The decades of struggle for Finnish independence from Russia were at a boiling point, and Finns fled the instability in their homeland at a breathtaking rate.
		Between 1890 and 1914, more than 200,000 Finns arrived, two-thirds of total Finnish immigration to that point, and more than 30,000 followed before immigration was curtailed in 1924.
		At the same time, the decades of high Finnish immigration coincided with a period of increased public hostility towards immigrants, and Finns were often subjected to discrimination in housing and jobs, as well as public insults and physical attacks.

	Finnish as a World Language
		First of all, Finnish is currently spoken by a mere 0.05% of the world's population; secondly one cannot learn the language in ten easy lessons; thirdly, a large number of Finns still do not understand it.
		This method of demonstrating your mastery of case usage is completely safe since, although you cannot prove that you were right, nobody, Finn or otherwise, can ever prove that you were wrong.
		The basic idea is: In Finnish the direct object (commonly called the accusative object) may occur in the nominative, the genitive, or the partitive case.

		The border between New Jersey and most of New Castle County in Delaware is the eastern shore of the Delaware River, not the center as is usual.
		I believe Finns Point was expanded by landfilling during the Civil War, and jutted out into the river beyond the established boundary.

		The Finns would not deal with a language that calls ice-cream 'zmrzlina,' while the Czechs in turn distrusted a language that calls it 'jaeaeteloeae' (jäätelöä).
		Months and Days: Say 'the first day,' 'the third day,' 'the second month,' 'the next-to-last month,' etc. This will save you the two years it takes to learn these names and shifts the burden of labour over to the person you are talking to.

		The Civil Guard in many cases was better trained than the Finnish Army and was in almost all cases better equipped.
		Their service to the defense of Finland in the Winter War has to be regarded as one of the most important factors in the success the Finns had against the massive Soviet onslaught.
		While they did indeed defend Finland alongside the Finnish Army, the Finnish Civil Guard kept their organizational systems intact which was a very important factor in Finnish defense.

		Behind the velvet curtains of civilized homes it was (and is?) a given fact that the ordinary uncivilized folks were of "inferior race." For example German universities were seriously interested in the hypothesis concerning the Finnish origins of the European population, but in Finland this was as ill-fitting as burping at social teas.

	This is about sports! - Tales From Turin: An Olympic Journal
		Facing a possible score of several points for the opponent, Finnish Skip UUSIPAVALNIEMI M uses his ability to throw big weight to play a perfect Promotion Double Take-out, forcing the opponent to tie the game later in the end, therefore remaining in control of this very close game before the last two ends.
		To prevent the Finns from stealing points, the Kiwis and Becker were forced to curl in a lone stone and take a single point, which is essentially a loss, because the Finns then reclaimed the Hammer.
		So it was 5-5 going into the last two ends, but the Finns had last ups, and they took two points in the 10th to win, 7-5.
