Here are some "census" record for Karl Anders that are available online:

1855: http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/isojoki/rippikirja_1846-1855_uk180-181/307.htm
1865: http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/isojoki/rippikirja_1856-1865_uk181/444.htm
1872: http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/isojoki/rippikirja_1866-1872_mko141-161/451.htm
1882: http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/isojoki/rippikirja_1873-1882_mko162-182/470.htm - with first wife. At bottom of page.


Hi kshaw

I'll post here so it'll be easier to correspond if needed.

The first 3 links say that Karl Anders was born 25 Sept 1854 in Lammiharju and was vaccinated for smallpox. He could also read the "ABC" book and from the Luther's Catechism.
The 4th says he was a croft owner and was living with or on the land of his brother in law. It also says that he went to America in 1875.
If you want more help just ask.

Ian

Thank you, Ian!! I have only recently been about to confirm that the Hilja Kulju that you found was, in fact, the correct person. Anything that you are able to help me find/ know about either line of my Finnish family is simply amazing. You have made a 94-year-old woman very happy and helped to uncover a 100-year-old mystery.

I have tried in the past to look through the Finn records, but without any Finn... it makes it very difficult to find much of anything, even if I'm staring right at the information I'm looking for.

I'm very interested in knowing anything you are able to find.

I would like to find out any info about Hilja's family going back. Who they were, where they lived etc. I have managed to find more or her two sisters that also came to Canada, from what you found. There is a least one other person with Hilja's sisters, Anna Olivia Kulju and Aina Fredrika Kulju, on their tree on Ancestry but I don't have a sub right now so I can't contact them.

I know this is a big ask, to get you to see if you can find anything else but as I said I can't read the documents.

Just trying to find a connection to all these Kuljus. Anna Kulju's daughter Signe Ingrid Ranta married a George Nickels in Wayne County, Michigan on 21 April 1934. Certificate is on Ancestry. Mother stated as Anna Kulja.

1926 Passenger record: Ingrid Ranta: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8M4-Z5D Mother as Anna Niemi.

1927 Passenger record: Ingrid Ranta: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8M4-ZPJ

1940 USA Census: Ingrid Nickels: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KHMM-G5Z


Anna Niemi (Kulju) in 1921 Canada Census on Ancestry: Reference Number: RG 31; Folder Number: 82; Census Place: Port Arthur City - Third Ward, Port Arthur and Kenora, Ontario; Page Number: 10


Ian

I don't think that the 1940 census is the right person. It has her listed as English- Canadian
