Hi
Seeking assistance with my ggrandfather's birth place and family in Finland.
He spoke little English but had a large family which he raised with his Western Australian wife.
His descendants only have stories about how he migrated from Finland to Western Australia.
Seeking assistance on how to find his birth place and other Finnish family members records.

Daniel Henrickson
Naturalized Australian:1927
Born::15 Aug 1860 Priastadt,Finland.died 1938 Boddington WA.
Arrived in Australia: 1883?
Married:Susannah PAGE
Resided: in 1927:Boddington.W.A
Emigrated:via New Zealand to Adelaide S.A.
Lived: London,ENG:4 yrs
New Zealand: 2 yrs
Adelaide.S.A. 9 months
Midland Railways.W.A. 3 yrs with Mr Keane.

Priastadt, is this a Finnish place?

Is Henrickson a Swedish or Finnish name?
Possibility is also that he may of changed or someone changed his surname along the way??

Cheers

 - his marriage is here in 1889 (also births of children and his death).

Possibly the marriage certificate will have more info on his parents.

 - this seems very relevant!

Hi

Thank you for the sites to look up. Didnt have knowledge of the justice dept one. Many thanks.
The second shows how long I have been researching and still no further with Daniel's Finnish roots.

Cheers
