Emigration from Tampere area, early 1900's
Searching for information/connections with our grandmother, Eeva Sofia Ilotulla, b. @1885 in Hameenkyro, Finland, one of 6 or 7 children of Taavetti Wilhelmi Johanpoika? Ilotulla (not sure what that last name really represents) and Eeva Kaisa Taavettityntar Ilotulla.There were several other children, all of whom either died young or left the area and we don't know their married names (women).One son, Karl Salmi, also immigrated to US, ending up in Penacook, NH, around 1912 or so.Sofia immigrated to US in about 1905, returned to Finland about a year later and some months later returned to US for good.Lived in New Hampshire and Vermont.
Any contacts with other emigrants from the area around Hameenkyro, or possible connections would be very welcome.
