Keep tuned in to this URL: http://www.orderofruneberg.org The Order of Runeberg is in the process of setting up their own website with information about the Order, lodges, meetings, and a genealogy section. I write the Genealogy Corner for their newspaper "The Leading Star/Ledstjärnan" and plan to submit an article about Runeberg for the next edition. The above site also has a map showing where the lodges are located - sadly, many of them in the eastern part of the country have closed and most of them are now located in the western US.
Have any of you baked Runeberg Cakes which are eaten throughout Finland on Runeberg's birthday? I have the recipe, which has been adapted to our measurements, as well as the Swedish version. One SFHS member wrote to me that he baked the cakes to be served at a meeting and they were a big hit.
No doubt there will be more announcements made when the website is fully up and running.
