Bobo91,
I would love to get in touch with Gerry.  If you can, please let him know that family in the States would love to speak with him.  I am trying to piece together our family tree and wonder if Mae would have more information, and especially pictures!!!  Let me know when you get a chance to speak with him.
Thank you,
Kristen

Hi Kaysii and Jorose,
I have been researching the names given in the marriage certificate but to no avail.  I can't find any other information on other children of both Gabriel and Stina Johanna's parents.  I tried everything in FamilySearch and on Ancestry.  I tried looking in different Finland sites too, some I just couldn't get past the language barrier.  Only thing I found was the NY 1905 Census but I have all of that information already.  How do I even find out the location of their birth/parents birth?  Is their another site I can try?
I know it is mentioned as Finnish/Russian in some of the Census.  Thank you.

Thank you both so much.  This is just what I was looking for.  Funny, I was on Family Search and could not find anything on Gabriel Parola.  Probably because I didn't have the correct spelling.  Their name was messed up in every Census too!  I am wondering if Emil was in Kymi, Finland to visit family?  I am going to start there with my search.  Thank you again.

Does anyone know how I can find out more information on Johanna?  All that I have is she was born in 1872 in Finland, died in 1918 in New York City.  She was married to Gabriel Parola.  Apparently she went from Finland to Austria and than to America.  I can't find her anywhere other than with Gabriel in a few of the New York Census and the children she gave birth to here.  I would like to find out more about her family.  She had a son, Emil or Amil that Gabriel adopted so she may have been married before.  How do I find out where she was born, her parents, etc.  Any help would be so appreciated.

Hi Isabel,
I just wanted to let you know that because you were able to find the names of my great grandparents, I was able to locate the siblings of my grandfather on the 1901, 1906, 1911 and 1916 Census Forms.  You have no idea how much this means to me.  I tried to look them up on two more Census Forms after 1916 but it seems that Halskovej 63 is missing on both.  You really helped me so much.  Now I have lots of information that I need to continue to research.  Just one question, do you know where I can find death records?

I finally got a correct name for my Grandfather and a birthdate but still cannot locate him in any records.  Any help please.

Hans Henry Valdemar Hansen born Jan 6, 1904 we believe it was in Korsor Denmark.  He was from a family of 10 children and came to the US in his teen years.  Ended up in Brooklyn, New York and married Emily Parola in 1929.

Hi All,
Back from vacation and working on my search once again.  The family was amazed at how many other children that Johanna had that we did not know about.  It is definitely the family.  I know it was mentioned that Emily married HHW Hansen in 1929.  That was my Grandmother who married Valdemar Henry Hansen.  I am not sure why he is listed as HHW Hansen unless he actually used another name.  I cannot find immigration information on him since he jumped a boat coming over from Denmark.  We believe he was born in Korsor 1900?.  I can't find immigration on Valdemar Hansen or Johanna Vatkimen.  I have searched but am afraid I will never find more information on my Grandfather.  I know he came from a family of about 11 children but as far as we know, he was the only one that came over when he was about 16.  Anyone know where I can look next?
