Finns & FriendsThe author is Art Jura. He is a 3rd generation “Mainer”, a photographer, and the grandson of Finnish immigrants. The purpose of “Finns & Friends” is to: (1) Provide information on upcoming events of local Finnish-American organizations. (2) Help with genealogical questions, and the history of Finnish immigration to mid-coast Maine.
Few realize that our local area received the largest proportion of the Finnish immigrants who eventually settled in Maine. Also, this began as early as 1840, peaked through the first half of the 20th century, and still draws visitors with ties to this culture. “Tervetuloa” (Welcome!)
