This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There are also Swedish communities that speak old Swedish from 100 years ago. It's super interesting to see your old roots in another country. If I recall correctly the Swedes are located in Minnesota

I think most of the Scandis dispersed around the Northern states and Canada. Guess a swamp in Louisiana might've been be a bit too warm and sticky for them.
