Kinnari form Valkeala

[jukkaristo]

My grandfather Taavetti (some times also named Taavi or David) Kinnari from Valkeala, born 23.3.1888 arrived to Ellis Island on Jan. 30’th 1909 with destination a friend A. Salmi in 114 Matt (Watt?) Avenue Waukegan Ill.
In the passenger manifest the name is erroneous. Family name is Taaretti (with r) and given name Kinnari.
He travelled with two friends also from Valkeala; Erik Sjöblom and Jalmar Möller (names written of course without dots over o).

I do not know if they ever went to Waukegan but I ’know’ that my grandfather was quite soon working in some mine in Canada. I do not know where. He also got pneumonia and returned back to Finland maybe 1911-12,
as his first child was born 27.5.1913 in Valkeala.

Can anybody give me some hints how I could trace his ways in US and Canada?
