Axel Weckström was born May 15, 1883 in Helsingfors. Between 1900 and 1908, Timmerman Weckström was stationed in England under a Captain Degerholm and went back to Helsingfors on a regular basis. In 1910, he and another young fellow, decided to emigrate to the US. Axel sailed from Liverpool on the Tunician (Tunisian?) and arrived in Buffalo, NY about August 9, 1910. He evidently came across the US on the Canadian Pacific Railway and settled in Astoria, Oregon, where he filed a Declaration of Intention on July 28, 1911.
I am looking for any records or data in Helsinki that might give me more data about Axel and his family. I believe he left a couple sisters and his mother in Helsinki.
Anybody have any ideas?
