I am looking for Anna Maria Sten.
She is my husband's ggrandmother from Finland.
b. 1865?
rumored to arrive in US in 1892 but have not been able to confirm it.
1892-? servant in NY,NY, USA (story told by her grandson- unsubstantiated on paper yet)
1899 obtained a passort in Vaasa, destination amerikka ( occupation loinen?)
?married to Andrew Anderson (I have no record of the marriage as of yet but she had their first child in 1901, 1899 passport named her Anna Sten not Anderson. and the 1901 passenger list also said Sten)
1901 arrived at Ellis Island, america
1901 birthed dau. Agnes Anderson in Westport, PA, USA
1902 birthed son Berger Anderson in Westport, PA, USA
1906 birthed dau. Ellen Anderson in Westport, PA, USA
1908 found on passengers records for Ellis Island coming back to US again with Andrew and the 3 children.
1930 Westport,PA, USA census living with husband Andrew in Westport, PA, USA
I am looking for information on
1. a marriage of Andrew and Anna (I can't find anything in Wesport, PA where Andrew lived so possibly they went to Finland to marry as I understand most Swedish/Finnish couples married at the wife's home parish)
2. birth of Anna Sten possibly in Korsnas
3. Anna Sten's emigration from Finland/ immigration to america
4. Anna Sten's parentage
5. ANY information you think might be useful in my search!
I like to find the stories behind the people! So if you don't have information about this particular person then perhaps you have something to add about the life at that time in Korsnas or as a finnish servant in america. I've found often when I'm "stuck" on someone knowing the stories of the area can lead to new areas to search in.
I have MANY questions! One thing that confuses me is this.... Anna was a servant, how did she afford the relatively frequent trips to Finland? And why? How did Anna ( a servant in NY,NY meet Andrew Anderson (a farmer in Westport, PA)? So many questions!
