Finnish Surname Kangas
I am researching my Finnish roots. Thus far I have little to go on other than my Grandfathers name, date of birth and name of his parents. My Grandfather was Raymond Kangas, he was born in Ashtabula County, Ohio on February 11, 1906. His fathers name was Matti Kangas, his mother is listed as Katri Wehka Kangas. It is rumored through family stories that Matti was killed in Finland during a revolt around 1905, and that Katri(who was pregnant with my grandfather) fled Finland during this time.with 4 other siblings. Katri apparently remarried after the birth of my grandfather. My grandfathers other siblings were all boys, whom after the revolt was over returned to Finland to reclaim and work the family farm. I have no names of the other siblings, no name of where in Finland they fled from, nor the name of the man that Katri possibly married in the USA. I am interested in locating anyone who may be researching the Kangas surname, have info on any Finnish revolt around 1905. You can contact me at [email protected]
Thank You! John
