Just think of it: I have a sheet of paper here that is 100 years old, and it was carried across the ocean from Finland, through Canada, to Oregon, and back to Minnesota. Now it's almost as dark as a paper bag, it has my grandmother's name at the top, and I can't read it. Get the picture??

Thank you, Tapio. She told me she had worked at a book bindery. Gosh, this is getting more interesting all the time. I can't wait until her mother's (Susanna Lind's) records are available to search!! Didn't turn up much in Ancestry.
