I received a request from Finlander, Andrea Cocco, requesting some help from one of her cousins regarding a celebration taking place concerning Eileen, Wisconsin and any Swede-Finns or Finns who might have lived there at any time. Below are the details:

"Linda Heglund Jensen would like to find other Swede-Finns who may be descended from residents of Eileen, Wisconsin. She is putting together some kind of History as well as trying to find the descendants who might like to come to the celebration. So perhaps you could put the information about the celebration on SFHS and have people answer to her at HegJen%40aol.com.
Her father was born in the United States 5 April, 1907 son of Carl Henriksson Hästbacka Heglund and Maria Emeli Eriksdotter Luomala both from Nedervetil, I believe. Her mother was born in Nedervetil, Ruth Alice Hästbacka, daughter of Alexander Henriksson Hästbacka and Emma Charlotta Alexandersdotter Hästbacka, on 12 October 1919 - she came to the United States in 1950 to care for the children of her future husband and his wife who was very ill at the time and died shortly. It would be very nice if there would be someone on the SFHS list who would have
relatives who lived there and perhaps might be related to her and to me, also."

"We are having a Township celebration on June 11 and 12 for the Town of Eileen where our farm is located. It is 100 yrs. young in 2004. My father was Chairman for many years as well as on the county board and a number of other elected county jobs for Bayfield county. So I'm trying to find pictures for that and write some type of history."
