Were there any Finnish vikings and/or crusaders?

by V3bb3

By Finnish I mean a person who happened to live in the area which is nowadays Finland and who belonged to a tribe or a people which are included in what are called Finns nowadays. Were there any of them raiding with the vikings, or crusading in the holy land? If the answer is no, why? And if the answer is yes, is there any kind of literature I can find of this?

Sorry for my average English since it's not my first language.

Insofar as Finnish víkingar are concerned, the answer is "enh, probably, but we don't have any literary evidence for it" because, well, we don't have any literary evidence for it. In the sagas, Finns tend to be depicted as either the vassals of Swedish jarlar, or somehow otherworldly (like the troll-mother of Grímr loðinkinni, although the historical accuracy of fornaldarsögur like Gríms saga Loðinkinna is suspect to say the very least, but the depictions of Finns in the sagas is a different discussion)

Archaeologically speaking, it's very difficult to determine if a person was a víkingr based solely on grave goods. Wealthy warriors could be outfitted lavishly and with goods from all over the world acquired through trade and without having to fór út á víking and raid via boat.
