Lucas Bryant & Ethan Peck
Finnish Americans talking about seeing Finnish people.
Lucas Bryant: One side benefit of the project is that it put him back on family soil, so to speak. “My Dad’s side of the family is from Finland, That was very strange and cool for me. I landed in Helsinki and felt like I’d been there before,” he says.
“I could see my Grandmother’s eyes and my Aunt’s cheeks, and everyone looked so familiar and then they opened their mouths. I was contacted by a man at the local Chamber of Commerce [who thought] we might be related [and he] sent me a bunch of info on my family and where we linked up from the little village in Finland. It was very cool.”

Ethan Peck: Everyone is blue eyed and, you know, light haired. My father was telling me "You know, you're gonna see a bunch of people that look like me". And it was kinda hard for me to imagine that, because I'm so used to the way he looks. And he was absolutely right. We had a family gathering and I saw a lot of his features in our cousins which was really cool. And I guess, my features too. But my mother is Italian and I have some what's called black Irish in me so my hair and eyes are darker.
