| | The Delaware Finns |
 | | Johan Papegoja who had charge of the colonists during the voyage, hired a Swedish speaking Finn Hendrick Olsson as his assistant as he could not speak Finnish and the colonists who came mostly from the Finnish settlements in Vermland knew no Swedish. |
 | | More than a hundred prospective Finnish colonists had to be left behind, who had sold their property at any price and traveled a long distance in the hopes of getting passage to America. |
 | | Accordingly letters were sent by the Swedish government on May 27, 1664, to governors of various provinces stating that several hundred families had been enticed to leave their country and go across the mountains to Norway, in companies of five or six persons at the time. |
