This message was on Finngen - I thought perhaps someone on Finlander would be able to reply to the mail:

Three American women born in Helsinki will be visiting Österbotten for the first time 17-21 July, 2004. We would like to meet someone who can
tell us more about the Nykarleby area. We are most interested in getting acquainted with the landscape and how our farming ancestors lived. We would also be happy to have suggestions about how to spend a few days touring by car, modest accomodations, museums, etc.
In Emil Åman's book, Nybyggarna pa Åvist, we are decendants of Släkten Sexmans. Maria Eriksdotter Nygård (Tab. 147, b. 1874 at Långholm in Markby, near Nykarleby) is our mormor. Her morfars farmor, Beata Hansdotter Kurf (b. 1746) was a pioneer at Åvist.
Our morfar is Karl Gustav Jakobsson Lundqvist (b. 1868 at Finne in Markby). Karl Gustav is known as the inventor of the Hankmoharv. The old farmhouse was still standing in Markby several years ago. He moved his family to Esbo in 1926.
My father Kurt Erik Sundberg was born in Vasa (1906) but grew up in Hangö. Pär-Erik Levin's book, Levälä-Släkten, traces his farmors farfar, Daniel Eriksson Levälä (b. 1770) to Levälä near Ytterjeppo. My guess is that we are related to many families in the Nykarleby area.
I am using Reunion version 8 software for Macintosh, and have mostly completed entering Emil Åman's Sexmans line. I'm sharing this genealogical chart with family, and am happy to share with others. I have yet to do any research myself.
I read and understand Swedish fairly well.
