Europe / Vatkimen, Johanna Finland
« on: Sunday 16 January 11 22:26 GMT (UK)  »
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.

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.

I am trying to find out information on my great great grandmother Johanna Vatkimen m. Gabriel Parola.  The only information I have is she was born in Finland apx. 1880 and died around 1918 in New York City.  I believe she died of the flu.  I have gone all the regular routes with census, immigration and still cannot find any information.  Any help please on where to look next.

Roscommon / McHugh - Kilglass, Roscommon

I need help finding the parents and relatives of Catherine McHugh b. apx. 1849 Ireland.  She married Hugh Shanahan b. apx. 1841 and they lived in Kilglass, Knockhall, Co. Roscommon.  I posted a previous message and was able to track down the Shanahan side of the family but got stuck on the McHugh's.  How do I go about finding out who her parents and siblings are.  I have looked up every possible site and can't connect her to anyone.  Any help please?

As  far as I know, James is the only one that remained in Ireland and had two children, Michael and Mae (Mary?) married Gerald Gearty.  Any information would be so helpful.  Thank You.
