First families of Finland

Post by david_stenson » Thu Dec 20, 2007 10:10 pm

Hi

Sorry, this is slightly off-topic, but I'm doing some research on the first families of Finland. I'm interested in family businesses that have turned into empires, where the family name is known by almost everyone in Finland. Any ideas where I might start, or suggestions for some families to start with? Googling isn't turning up a lot.

Thanks a lot

...Paulig, Ingman, Snellman, Seppälä, Stockmann, Viktor Ek, Marja Kurki, Grünstein..

Oras and Veho are family business, not sure if they are names or parts of names.
