where is Neu Karleby in Finland

I saw the naturalisation records for them on Ancestry but only indexed records. Do you have them?

[crab2]

no I don't have them but I've just asked the person who I am doing this for if she would purchase the printout of the marriage for Andrew so I'm going to purchase that today, sorry for slow replies at work also.

[jamcat95]

Great.
I think I should be able to find him with his parents names.

[jamcat95]

I have a record of a Jacob Eriksson born 1855 from Nykarleby having jumped ship at Port Pirie in Australia.
I will post it later.

have sent you a PM

Hi
As it says family on the list it must mean they travelled with children. Are there any born before 1879. If so can I have their names please.

I have no idea who they would be, Andrew would've been born around 1833, no idea with Jakob or John

Andrew married in 1887 in New Zealand, his wife was Jane Campbell, they had 9 sons all born in New Zealand.

I haven't found for sure any marriage for Jakob and John
