Swedish Cemetery - Vormsi Island, Estonia

© January 05 2000, Uncornered Market

Vormsi island off the coast of Estonia (near Haapsalu) was primarily inhabited by ethnic Swedes before World War II. They were evacuated to Sweden during the war, leaving behind their homes and farms. Some are returning now to get their family home restituted to them.
