Hi M1nna,
If you could private message me with Wilhelmina and Jonas Carlson's son's name I would appreciate it. I will also private message you my email address so that she (your friend) may contact me if she would like to. I would be happy to share any information with her that I have on our ancestry. This is very exciting to find a relation in the U.S. Thank-you.

Best Regards,
Denise

RE: Albertina Nikkari - Abraham's daughter

Hello,

I am brand new to this site and I think Albertina - the daughter of your ancestor - may be my maternal great grand mother on my father's side. She married a Robert Myllyharju and they had a daughter Matilda Josefiina Myllyharju who was born Oct 4, 1885 - Albertina would have been 31. I would be curious if you had any confirming details....

Thanks,

Helen Roininen

Hi Helen,
The Albertina Bergström I have was born 10 Apr. 1828 Jalasjärvi, and died 21 Aug 1831 Jalasjärvi. I'm sorry. It's silly, but when I found that to be a royal line I just kept climbing up the ladder and never really looked back for further information on the Bergström family. In so many cases I found that either the same family or another member down the line in the family named their child after one who had died, so there still may be another Albertina I am missing. I'll go through the church books and see what I can find. Where was your Matilda Josefina Myllyharju born? and where was Robert Myllyharju born?

Best Regards,
Denise

Hi Helen,
Looked through Hiski after I saw that you had posted Albertina NIKKARI Abrahamsdotter across the top.
Could this be the family of your Albertina? Are these her siblings? As you can see below Himanka has no records transcribed on Hiski for about 1854 when your Albertina would have been born.

Best Regards,
Denise

I think Lehtimaki...my grandfather was born there so I am assuming it could be the same area. My apologies for not being able to supply any more details.

Thank you for your prompt response - its greatly appreciated...

I don't think so - to the best of my understanding, it was only my grandfather who emmigrated after the first World War. Thank you for the information...

Denise,

Thank you for this - its why I didn't have my hopes up too high, I know record keeping at this time was poor at best and I recall being told a lot of names were Swedish or people just took a place name. e.g. -my father was Voitto so I would be Voittontatyr and then came a time when they took actual last names. I'm trying to cast my net as wide as possible - you never know where a solid lead will come from.

Thanks,

Helen
