Thank you so much, so interesting. I never would have thought that the page notation would be a lead to someone else. Again I learned something new from phpBB. People who lived in these locations (not on the farm) were they employed in some other manner than farming, perhaps a tradesman in the villa...

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut_eng/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=201&pnum=93 Above is a link to the family of Pehr Kähkönen. One of the children had a comment in their Hiski birth entry 'Slut'. I found the name translated to: " end - the part in the communion books reserved for non-farmers, non-cr...

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut_eng/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=22469&pnum=559 The above link shows the communion entry for Japhet Kähkönen (1846-1907) his wife Eva (Leinonen) Kähkönen (1844-?). It also shows their 5 children who all emigrated to America between 1899 and 1908, with Antti, the you...

Thanks, Jaska for getting back to me. I've waited a long time to see 1900's records and I finally found my great grandfather information. Now onto to my great grandmother, Eva Leinonen. I have a feeling that most if not all their children moved here. I found another one, Elsa Sophia in Michigan. Tha...

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut_eng/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=22474&pnum=28 Above is the link for Jafet Kähkönen death entry on 13 Apr 1907. His name is the 8th entry from the bottom of the page. Could you please translate the word prior to his age (61) and the word after the 5. Is one of them ...

I need help. I contacted the Facebook Finnish Genealogy Group and they were unable to find a passenger list for me and I hope you can. I have attached the Institute of Migration passenger information of her leaving Finland. She left 23.03.1901 aboard the Arcturus. Supposedly out of Hanko and I am as...

I believe this is a Swedish document. My ancestors are Sophia Ruona (Line 3) and her daughter and grand-daughter and they, according to my cousin, may have left Gothenberg, Sweden and this document said they were bound for Hull England aboard the Romeo. This document is dated 06 July and we think it...

Thank you Jaska for the quick reply. It was very hard reading but I knew phBB could decipher it.
Thanks

Can you decipher the wording on this page for Nils, born 28 Jan 1829. His name is toward the bottom of the page and next to it is some wording. Little hard to make out.
Thank you
Janice

Thanks Marinka for the information. Interesting and I've got some updating to do. I keep forgetting about Oulu being a city. Don't know why. I see that the names can be spelled differently but I'm learning how to read old Finnish. Only taken about 10 years.
Thanks again.

Thanks, Jani, for getting back to me. I think it would be fair to say that the one that died the following year would not be related to me. It sure is coincidental isn't it. I was just reviewing some information I got back about a Jacob O. Henric Heickinen. Turns out that's not one person - they wer...

Thank you Marinka. Jacob is my 5th great uncle. I should be able to follow the family. I never thought of him being a twin. I thought the name was unusual because I have never seen the O. between two names. I'll have to find Henric.
Thanks again for your help

Lars and Margareta Heickinen lived in the Paltamo area. They had 10 children and I found Lars and Margareta and the first 5 of their 10 children in the communion book. I know we Americans make a mess out of where people live and how the proper wording should be and we need some education. Here is a ...

Now using the birth/baptism dates to start with is a great idea. I'll have to remember that because I never know where to start in the communion books.

I'm thinking it's October as well but I came across the Sept entry and thought it a coincidence that the names are identical except for the middle name is Anna (Sept entry) and Hanna (Oct entry) but the family names are not at all the same. Probably a coincidence. Thanks for checking on this Jani, I...
