The First Gentleman of Alaska, Todd Palin

[Juha]

His parents are Jim Palin and Blanche Kallstrom/Kellstrom etc.

Blanche has eskimo father and her name sounds quite Swedish or so.

Any information about Blanche's ancestors??

There were many Källström families in Karleby, but I don't find Blanche. When was she born? My moster was married to Adolf Karlsson Källström, b. 1878 in Karleby.

So far I have learned that Todd Palin's mother side came partially from Norway.

Todd's fatherside is from England and I read that they some Viking heritage they are very proud of.....

Has anyone further information?

His mother is one-quarter Yup'ik and also of Swedish descent, and his maternal grandmother, Lena Andre, is a member of the Curyung tribe.

His mother appeared on TV last night and she looks like a typical Swedish woman - blondish hair and blue eyes.
