I had the DNA of my family analysed last year and to my suprise my mtDNA matched that of 58% of the Skolt Sa'ami. My yDNA most closely matches that of one of the invaders to the British Isles, who stayed there.

Famous Sa'ami:

Mari Boine • Nils Gaup • Anni-Kristiina Juuso • Lars Levi Læstadius Joni Mitchell • Isak Saba • Nils-Aslak Valkeapää • Renée Zellweger

Where Do The Finns Come From?

"Not long ago, cytogenetic experts stirred up a controversy with their "ground-breaking" findings on the origins of the Finnish and Sami peoples. Cytogenetics is by no means a new tool in bioanthropological research, however. As early as the 1960s and '70s, Finnish researchers made the significant discovery that one quarter of the Finns' genetic stock is Siberian, and three quarters is European in origin. The Samis, however, are of different genetic stock: a mixture of distinctly western, but also eastern elements. If we examine the genetic links between the peoples of Europe, the Samis form a separate group unto themselves, and other Uralic peoples, too have a distinctive genetic profile. "

Yup... soon the only place where you’ll be able to find authentic Swedish ethnicity is the United States. Maybe we can go back there someday and re-seed the population.

We have these strange eyes...not quite Euro, not quite Asian...and we are very hardy in the cold. We can see (or sense) well in darkness. Once, my grandfather told me that we were “Huns” and our language was its own. When the Russians came, and he emigrated to the US (1899), no one was allowed to speak Finn at the family ranch in WY.
He was a coal miner in WY. Sisu.

Renee's a half-sy. Fellow on another chatroom I visit is related to her ~ he's her uncle.

Another famous Sa'ami is Kevin Sorbo.

“The black dots on the map show the distribution of places with Saami names, evidence that they had once settled far beyond the borders of “Lapland.””

Have you come across any lists of Saami names?
