Sottunga is an island-community in Åland’s eastern archipelago.
Sottunga Hembygdsförening was founded in 1989 and rebuilt the old school building to be used as a community hall for gatherings and exhibits.
Sottunga was permanently settled some time during the eleventh-century, same as the rest of the eastern archipelago, but there are signs of even older temporary settlers.
Sottunga is an island municipality of Åland, an autonomous territory of Finland.
Like the rest of Eastern Åland, Sottunga got its first permanent inhabitants sometime in the 11th century, although there is evidence that the island has had inhabitants long before that.
Sottunga has suffered during many wars, first during the Great Northern War in 1714-22 when all of Åland fled to Sweden and again during the Finnish War of 1808-09 when all the buildings on the island were set on fire in order to prevent the enemy from getting them.

Because of Sottunga's smaller population size, the birth interval or Sottunga descendants was extended to those born between 1900 and 1950.
Closer examination shows that Sottunga's outlier status is due mostly to a lower level of endemicity (m sub jj) than expected in each time period.
Sottunga is a small parish, but it has considerably lower endemicity rates than would be expected on the basis of any linear function of population size.
Along these same lines, it is also interesting to note that genealogical studies of Sottunga indicate that genetic drift (including a true founder effect) rather than inbreeding is probably responsible for the elevated frequencies of rare disorders, such as von Willebrand and Wolman's diseases (O'Brien et al.
