SUMMARY:Finnish Genealogy Group of MN Monthly Meetings
DESCRIPTION:9:00 AM: Log On\n9:30 AM: Business Meeting\n10:15 AM: Speaker \nZoom \nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025 \nEvery Object Tells a Story \nOur March presenter\, Sirpa Tuomainen\, in her own words\, “I’ve always enjoyed visiting Finnish & Finnish-American homes as it’s been fascinating to discover what kinds of Finnish objects people have and are displaying. Different generations have different styles\, but there seem to always be certain staples. It had been my longtime dream to investigate this more closely\, and I was finally able to do it. My goal in this project was to explore why people have kept these particular artifacts\, how these items relate to their Finnishness\, and how this all comes through via the narratives they’ve shared with me.” \nLearn more about the Finnish Genealogy Group at FGGMN.ORG.
