Hello -
Investigating genealogy and am as far up the tree as my Great-Great-Grandmother....Maja Lovisa Frans of Pörtom (don't have birth/death dates)....her children include Johanna Lovisa Frans (Carlson) my great-grandmother who emigrated to Minnesota, USA in 1899, as well as a son Fred Frans (also emigrated to the US, I believe Seattle/Tacoma area), and 2 other children who remained in Finland -- Ida Frans (Holmgren) and Johanna Frans (Ahlbäck).....looking for birth/death date, as well as the name of her husband, my Great-Great-Grandfather.
Also, interested in finding information regarding the Father of my Great-Great Grandfather -- Karl Henrik Pihl of Petalax (I've attached an interesting arcticle that documents what led up to his departure from Finland to the US in 1899)....Karl Henrik was born May 15th, 1844 to Beata Pihl (birth/death dates unkwown)....married Maja Sofia Johansdotter (born April 3rd?, 1841) whose parents were Johan Osterback and Maria Osterback....this was her second marriage, having been widowed previously....they emigrated to the US with my Great Grandfather's brothers Victor (Pihl) Carlson, Israel (Pihl) Carlson, and sister Sofia (Pihl) Carlson and Johanna Lovisa Frans who eventually married my Great Grandfather Gabriel (Pihl) Carlson here in Minnesota.
