Your Swedish grandfather was a member of the Sons of Norway.

Is SoN mostly Norwegian or a variety of Nordics?

I didn't pick Finns because of genetics. Finns have unique phenotypes and their language sounds the most exotic from all European languages to me. But the most important, they hate Slavs.

He was a member of another Scandinavian lodge for my region, primarily composed of Swedish and Swedish-Finns. He was a known figure in the Scandinavian community, author of Swedish history and genealogy in America, etc. (in the areas of myself and Svipdag, I think I wrote this before on his thread)..

I wish I’d known he was part of the sons of norway earlier

There’s a big chance he knew my grandpa too

Ok, I see he was not apart of the East Hartford SoN lodge Svipdag was a part of, but another lodge in the same region.

Was it a Vasa Order of America lodge? Perhaps Norden in Wethersfield, CT or Karl XII in Bristol, CT? Both are in Hartford County.

Yep Vasa, I'd rather not say which because it's in my city (: I'm in the process of joining the same one now that I'm old enough

They're only close on the PCA artificially; it's just due to their components balancing out in similar ways. They have low IBD with Poles and are very distant on the Eurogenes k36 map; SW fins will be 40 something, and east finns in the 20s.

Polish user Visars K36 map. Very distant to Finns.
