1. Finnish Traditional Sources:
The earliest Finnish historians apparently believed that their ancestors were descended from Israelites. Unfortunately the only proof of these traditions available to us till now are academic sceptical remarks such those below:
(a) S. Nickels, H. Kallas, P. Friedman. "Finland. An Introduction", U.K. 1968.
p. 19:
"Leaving aside the attempts of Finnish scholars of the early eighteenth century to prove that the Finns were descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel..."
(b) John H. WUORINEN, "A History of Finland," New York & London 1965.
p.12
"In common with the trend elsewhere in Europe, eighteenth century Finnish writers for instance, were inclined to establish among others, relationships with the Jews. The Lost Tribes of Israel furnished a tempting and convenient point of departure for imaginative interpretations and claims along this line."
(2). Finland and Switzerland.
We came to the conclusion that both Finalnd and Switzerland were influenced by the Tribe of Issachar.
The Alemans (also referred to as Alans or intermixed with Alans) were amongst the early settlers of Switzerland.
Alemans may also have been important in the early settlement of Finland as suggested by a Finish web-site.
See:
"Brit-Am Now"-336
Allemans in both Switzerland and Finland
#2. Questions on Issachar
http://britam.org/now/now336.html
(3) Finland and Issachar
As mentioned we identified Finland with Issachar as do others such as Steven Collins, see:
Issachar Identified with Finland
by Steven Collins
http://www.britam.org/collins/Issachar.html
In "The Tribes" Finland is identified with Issachar though contingents from Gad and Simeon were also present.
(4) Marshall Mannerheim, Issachar, and the Ten Tribes
Marshall Mannerheim (1867-1951), Finnish Military leader and national hero, in a speech was reported to at least once have expressly referred to the Finns as "Sons of Issachar".
"Sons of Issachar, stand and die, but let only scorched earth fall into the hands of the enemy"
Source: Richmond Norman STUART, "One of Isaac's Sons", The Covenant Message, September 1976, Johannesburg, South Africa. It should be noted however that we received a message from a seemingly irate Finnish (official?) who protested the attribution of such sentiments to the revered Marshall Mannerheim. Upon being challenged we were unable to produce any additional source affirming that the good Marshall had indeed ever identified his native Finland with the Tribe of Issachar.
(5) Finland and Caleb of Judah
Our first king was, according to mythology, called "Kaleva", which resembles very much the name Caleb

Lari Jeremias Kemil?nen
A researcher known as Ricardo Lopez Crespo (and also as Arrano Beltza and other names) reports that:
# The Finns claim their ancestors to have been the Kalevas (Chalybes/Khalubes), "Kolbias, Kalpamiehi? [and] KarelianKylfings" <26>
[<26> OsmoJoronen, "Early History of the Finnish People", 1998-2002]of Kalevala, their initial dwelling place. 'Khalups' is the singular of Khalubes <27>. [<27> "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language", Fourth Edition. Copyright 2000 by the Houghton Mifflin Company,
definition of "chalybeate" "The World & I", November 1987, Vol. 2, page 512,] Eloise and LauriPaananen, article "The Living Kalevala"-"Kaleva is the ancient ancestor of all Finns. The book about Kaleva's descendants is the "Kalevala" or "Land of Kaleva". Kaleva's [people] were called Kalevalanders, Kalevalaiset, or Suomalaiset. Kaleva is known in [Russian] as Golova, in Estonian as Kalev or Kalevi, in proto-Baltic as Kalevijas, [and] in Lithuanian as Kalvis..." #
This would link the Finns to Caleb of Judah. It should be noted however that the clans of Yair were linked to both Menasseh and to Caleb of Judah. Yair is generally associated with Ireland and Scotland but an offshoot may have reached Scandinavia. Irish legend frequently makes claims in that direction and during the Bronze Age contacts did exist.
(6). The identification of Finland
From the above we have links between the Finns and Issachar along with Dan, Gad, Simeon, Judah, and Manasseh.
Issachar is deemed to predominate.
See "The Tribes".
http://britam.org/the-Tribes.html
(7) The Physical Aspects
The female mtDNA of the Finns seems to be similar to that of Sweden and Western Europe.
The autosomnal DNA and the physical characteristics are those of West Europeans.
The YDNA is N. This is a major haplogroup and brother to R of west and east Europe.
Brit-Am has claimed that ALL other haplogroups in effect devolve from R
see:
The DNA War Against Brit-Am. Nazi Vermin Attack Brit-Am DNA Explanation.
http://britam.org/war.html
What applies to R is even MORE pertinent to N.
 |
In fact Y haplogroups N and O (NO) may be considered the father groups to R with R and Q (most Amerindians as well as 5% of Ashkenazi Jews and in low numbers amongst various Asiatic peoples) deriving (via K and P) from NO. All other haplogroups may be descended from NO since all other haplogroups are encompassed by NO and NO is differentiated from them through its possession of additional information. Mutations usually lead to loss of information and therefore mutations of NO result in haplogroups lower down on the scale. In our other writings we have made the same point but have emphasized instead the primacy of R since the differences between NO and R are not that great and most Europeans belong to R through R1b or R1a and therefore may more easily relate to the point we are making.
There is an environmental aspect to the determination of DNA haplogroups!
#Haplogroup N has a wide geographic distribution throughout northern Eurasia, from Norway to China. Its highest frequency occurs among the Finnic and Baltic peoples of northern and eastern Europe, the Ob-Ugric and Northern Samoyedic peoples of western Siberia, and the Siberian Turkic-speaking Yakuts.[6]#
The subclade N1c1 is defined by the presence of markers M178 and P298. (It was previously known as N3a.) N1c1* has higher average frequency in Northern Europe than in Siberia, reaching frequencies of approximately 60% among Finns and approximately 40% among Latvians and Lithuanians.[19] It's also more diverse in Northern Europe than in Siberia.[20]
Other bearers of different clades of N include some Chinese, and different minorities amongst Mongolian and Turkic peoples.
It is thought that in Finland at one stage there was a genetic bottleneck so that most of the people are descended from very few ancestors.
Also of interest are the Lapps or Sami people.
The Sami speak a language related to Finnish.
The females have the same mtDNA as the women of the Berbers in North Africa. Similarities with the mtDNA of the Basques in Spain have also been claimed.
The Y(male)DNA is similar in general to that of the Fins though in its details quite differentiated.
Historically the Lapps are not Fins and are quite different from them. In fact an analysis of the similarities and differences of YDNA between Sami and Fins could well be used to illustrate the effects of environment in determining DNA!
Physically the Sami (Laps) are of mixed white and mongoloid type.
Customs and namesakes among the Laps may indicate ancient Persian and Israelite contacts.
S. Gusten Olsen, "The Incredible Nordic Origins", (1981), quotes sources to the effect that that ancestors of the Finns and Scandinavians were few in number.
They came in contact, says Olsen, with the Lapps and bequeathed to them characteristics that indicate Middle East ancestry.
They themselves then lost these same characteristics and the only remembrance we have of them is what the Lapps retained.
The possibility of this suggestion would appear to be strengthned by a modern linguistic theory that virtually says the same and holds that the Fins of Finland received the Finish Language through contact with Laps or groups related to them.
( 8). Finland in Bible Codes
http://www.britam.org/codesarticles/CodesFinland.html
Finland in Biblcal Codes was linked to Joseph.
Suomi, the official Finnish Name for Finland, was also linked to Joseph and Machir grandson of Manasseh.
Issachar in Biblical Codes gave us FINI and Suomi several times over and in interlocked format.
It also gave us Joseph though at lower significance.
This could indicate a strong element from Joseph amongst the Fins but with Issachar predominating.
Other proofs confirm the Israelite Ancestry of the Finish People. This additional evidence deals with Biblical and Historical aspects of the subject and is treated separatedly though much is already available in our work "The Tribes" especially the chapter on Issachar.
In addition, though only 5% of the Finish people today use Swedish as their mother tongue as much as 20% may be of Swedish origin. A separate article (in preparation) dealing with Sweden would also be applicable to Fins of Swedish descent.
(9) Conclusion and Note on Purpose of this Series
We identify an important element amongst the Finnish people as descended from Israel and tend to identify them with the Tribe of Issachar while recognizing possible contributions for other tribes.
Additional proofs and evidence of Israelite Ancestry exists. In this present series however we are concentrating on traditions that the peoples concerned themselves had. Other factors are also spoken of mainly in order to place the traditions in some kind of perspective.
Note:
There are, and have been in the past, negative elements in Finland. Amongst the ruling and intellectual elites are those who aggressively and actively support treacherous Quisling groups in the State of Israel and Palestinians who work for the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel. Bad eggs exist everywhere. They are also found amongst Israelites. Many Finns appear open to the idea that they descend from Israelites, though only a very few wax enthusiastic. Some seem quite antagonistic to the notion. The possibility exists that only a portion of the Finns really are descended from Israelites. It is this section however that we need to reach out to.
The same point applies to all other peoples identifiable as pertaining to a Biblically significant degree to the Ten Tribes of Israel.
