Hi,
Looking for antecendents of Wendla Sofia Marins who possibly left for Seattle WA on 9 May 1914. (Mig Inst) She was born 1884 we think in Vasa. She married Backman in Alaska.
Some of the material we find on Internet doesn't gibe with family stories, ie that she was only 16 when she decided to go to America. She was given the name Johnson when she entered America. Her husband August Nestor Backman was also born in Vasa, we think in 1893, and died in Seattle WA in 1942. Death date is for sure.
Does anyone have connections with this family?
Thanks,
Syrene
