Thank you so much, Ian! ;D

I am in the process of trying to trace the family forwards to find living relatives as well. ;D

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

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.

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 had to google translate (which didn't completely work). To clarify..... it means that they had been refused (possibly because one was Catholic and the other Protestant) by the church to be married. So they declared themselves married? Or lived together (common law) in a married way?

They'd been refused more than once and the church finally agreed. I'm guessing from "The bishop having exempted them for the 2 bans".

Very sad

Oh wow, Thank you.... I'd given up on that one. I've got a few more if you don't mind?

 I've found another one that I believe is a marriage, it the last one on the right-hand side (Rene Ouellet (Houalle) + Anne Rivet).

Sadly I can't make it bigger, there is also other written over/under it.

I've only just discovered a link back to him, and am finding many documents regarding him and other family members at the same time. Can you have a go at these, please?
