Anna Sten : Korsnas, Vaasa, Finland

[Heather]

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!

Here is something from the net.

Thank you so much for your time and effort looking in Korsnas!

yes, that is the one passport information I found also! It is the correct Anna Sten. I've not been able to locate anything previous to that though.

Thank you again! Heather

Someday I'm coming to Finland to give you a big hug!

I had no record of a child previous to her marriage of Andrew Anderson. There was no other child with her when she married Andrew. Would there be any other records pertaining to him to find out what happened or where he might be? Perhaps he remained in Finland with her family and we have cousins?

Where would Bergo be? Is it in the same area?

I wish I could be there! I want to hunt every parish and cemetery to find them all!

This is wonderful!
