My first book, Far Northern Connections, is now available; please call 1-800-788-7654 for Dorrance book sales. I've learned so much through the years; I really want to share that! Additionally I have lots of charts and lists. My second passion is foreign languages, so I have such important genealogical items as professions, sicknesses, etc. translated into the languages needed to do research in that far-northern area of the world. My office has been a sea of maps and language books and history books; hopefully, I've combined this in my book so that you won't have to have the same mess!
I'm also in the process of writing a book about Pajala Parish, Sweden, and Kolari Parish, Finland, and their family here in the United States. I expect that book to be completed within the next year.
If you have family in those two parishes, I would love to hear from you!!! There is no obligation to buy my book, and I'll be delighted to try to include your information. I've gotten quite a bit of information from people in those areas of Sweden and Finland, as well as from all over the U.S.
Best wishes!
