We found an old document from our archives stating that Mr. Victor Ek was appointed as the vice consul of the United States in 1898. As the US Embassy is celebrating their 100 years in Finland, we donated the orginal document to their archives. Victor Ek´s descendant in the 5th generation Michael Cedercreutz handed over the document to US ambassador Robert Pence at the Embassy on 3rd July 2019.
