Hi Patti!
The "surname" Michelsson (shortened michel in some of the church books) is actually a patronym and means "Michael's son". An immigrant might have turned this patronym into his/her last name, but most of the time the surname came from the name of the farm they were from.
It's possible that this Charles Mitchel is from Finland, but without more information it's impossible to find out.Do you know more that just the decade?
Sorry I couldn't help!
