Esther Karjalainen born Finland

[angusmacg]

I am looking for ancestors of Esther Karjalainen (b. 10/3/1902 Viipuri, Finland; d. 3/1990 in Massachusetts). Esther married Francis Patrick Manning and had Joan Barbara Manning (b. 5/24/1931 Winchendon MA; d. 3/23/1969 in Gardner, MA)

This is all the information I have on this family. I appreciate any help.

 - there is an obituary for her here in 1990 - would have to pay $1.95 to get a copy but from what I can squeeze out of it it does mention siblings (brother Eino, Finland, sisters Eliina, Royalston and Eili, Finland), a location ("Biipuri") and her parents names (Edward and Eva Hjerppe?)

http://www.stone-ladeau.com/obits/obituary.php?id=62402 - here is an obituary for her sister Eliina

www.ellisisland.org shows a possibly immigration for her in 1922; Ester Karjalainen, aged 19.  You will have to use http://www.stevemorse.org/ to see the manifest. Her sister is also there, I think, as "Elina Karjalamin", arriving in 1921.
