Return To Sweden: The Search for Ancestral Roots
An American of Swedish descent, Dale Johnson journeyed to Sweden hoping to see the land of his ancestors. Unexpectedly, he found much more. Thousands of Americans of European descent will connect in a personal way to the quest in this journey of discovery: this search for "roots." Sweden is a country of sheer physical beauty; the midnight sun, Lapland reindeer herders, forested mountains, the Nobel Peace Prize, farming traditions, Viking ancestry, Stockholm, Venice of the North, and much, much more. Göteborg is a manufacturing center; making products that set the world's standards for excellence; Volvo cars and Hasselblad cameras (the camera selected by NASA to take the pictures on the moon). We tour the city with its shopping malls, restaurants, churches and fish market, and sail to the island of Marstrand to explore Karlsten Fort, built on Marstrand Island to stop invaders during the middle ages. Driving north from Goteborg, we pass the countryside filled with lupines and picturesque farms, stop meet a family and to see Swedish farming today. At the village of Rattvick, we experience some of the history of this 16th-century town and church, and join in the midsommer celebration and watch the raising of it's midsommer pole. Also in the Lake Siljan area, we visit historical sites and watch the creation of Dala wooden horses in the town of Nusnas. The mountains of northern Sweden cradle the region of the Samithe Laplanders. These people, with their vast reindeer herds, show us how they have survived throughout the centuries, and we participate in a modern reindeer roundup, experiencing the reindeer drive into corrals, roping and branding by ear-marking. We end our day with a view of the midnight sun as it lowers, skims the horizon and rises again. Additionally, we visit Gallivare, Kiruna, Stockholm, Vaxjo, Flyinge, and Gislavad.
