What are your origins?

[laughing_anne]

the finnish side.

i really should trace that line back as i know next to nothing of it.
i will take a photo of it as some point and show you.

Thanks I'm dying to see what the language is like. Since it's from the 18th century it's probably a hilarious read. It is in Finnish, right? (Yes, the linguist in me gets her kicks out of weird things )

I am guessing so, as it is certainly not english.
i just have to find some gloves or i will have red all over my hands for days and look like i am having a bad bout of stigmata.

I suppose it could've been in Latin as well although the bible was translated into Finnish in the 16th century. I just had to check

Stigmata, eh? Maybe it's a special bible.

edit: I can't believe I'm discussing 18th century bible translations on a Saturday night. I need a life.

 

[Scarlet Ibis]

i do not know that much about that side,but i have an 18th century bible that has been passed down through the generations.

Oooh. We have one of those too. We plan to have it fixed up soon, but the estimate is $1k. D: It's particularly interesting because there are old tin types of our ancestors and some of them look like us.

I found out today that Belarus is the 29th most corrupt country (out of 180) in the world. Not good.

So, a corrupt muttishness then? (sorry, It feels really bad to call someone a mutt , we should turn it into an honour )
I think my family tree was probably corrupt too

Aw, man! That's one beautiful book! And it is Finnish, you haven't been lied to.

You're on your own with the sheep lover part I'm afraid!

Have it restored if you can afford it. It's beautiful. I love books, especially old ones.
And if you need someone to translate the letters for you I'd be more than happy to oblige.
