Jakobsson

I have some Jakobsson names that are similar to those you mentioned:

Signe Maria Johansdotter Jakobsson, b. 22 Sep 1895, Karleby.
Johan Artur Johansson Jakobsson, b. 22 Oct 1900, Karleby.
They also had a sister Edit and two brothers, Fridi and Gunnar. There is no indication that any of them moved from Finland.

Their parents were Johannes Kort-Jakobsson and Brita Johanna Johansdotter Kankkonen.

Hej Marian,
Böckerna och flera andra intressanta emigrantböcker hittar Du på

De nämna böckerna är 327 sidor resp 402 sidor och jag har dem i bokhyllan.
Lördagen den 7 Okt får jag besök av släktingar från Australien som jag tidigare ej visste om, men tack vare Finlander medlemmen Jeanette kom jag i Januari 2005 i kontakt med den grenen.

Hej Ingemar,

Böckerna verkar intressanta jag har inte så många böcker om emmigranter till Australien så nya tips emottages tacksamt.

JAg läser just nu en dagbok av en man William Kopsen som på
1800 talet utvandrade till Australien. Känner du till liknande böcker om emmigrantöden i Australien finska eller svenska?

Tack önskar dig ett fint möte med ditt Australien besök.

Soliga hälsningar Stockholm
