Carlins in Finland/Sumoi:
http://www.CarlinArchives.com/carlin-finland.htm
I know that there are men and women with the
Carlin surname who live in Suomi / Finland,
but we don't have any information about any
of them!
In a fantasy world (which, to the best of my
knowledge, this is not), we'd get a grant for a team
of Carlin genealogists to fly over to Helsinki,
get some telephone directories, and start calling
Carlins, one by one. If we had real nerve, we could
even tell some of them the saga of Cair linn, the
Viking nobleman and longboat captain, and how
he conquered the land and area now known as
Carlingford, Ireland. (Telling this story requires a bit
of nerve since, although it's a very good story, its
actual credibility is, well, a bit limited.)
Since we don't have funding grants for trips to Helsinki
or anywhere else, we have to rely on own individual
efforts. Does anyone getting this Carlin-L message
know anything about any Carlins in Finland?
Our rather lonely "Carlins in Finland" webpage has been
updated in terms of graphics and design, but misses
the most important thing: It doesn't include any actual
Carlin names or information! This is embarrassing. Can
you help?
