Summary

edit
Description
English: Western Estonia 1932. Originally black and white photograph colorized Julius Jääskeläinen.

The photographer wrote the village is “Moose” I wasn't able to locate this village, it's probable that it no longer exists.

The Estonian Swedes are a Swedish-speaking minority traditionally residing in the coastal areas and islands of what is now western and northern Estonia. The official beginning of the continuous settlement of Estonian Swedes in these areas (known as Aiboland) dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries, when their Swedish-speaking ancestors arrived in Estonia from what is now Sweden and Finland.

Almost all of Estonia's Swedish-speaking minority fled to Sweden during World War II, which led to many villages being abandoned, which could be the fate of the Moose village.
