Kinnunen
I have posted info before on here about my Kinnunen's finding bits and pieces and hoping someone might be able to help.
My Ggrandfather was John Kinnunen (john was prounced Jani in finnish) he was born abt. 1880 in Ristijarvi Finland.
He and two of his brothers came to America Houghton Co, Michigan. His Brothers were Esco and Matts Kinnunen.
I'm Trying to find out about their parents. All I know about them Is they Lived in Ristijarvi Finland somewhere by the Karppinen Farm #31.
John's father ran a granary in Ristijarvi and John worked there before coming to America.
John also had a sister named Milka (sp) she married Alaani Kemppainen but they stayed in Finland later moving to Russia.
I am at a loss as what to look for because HisKi parish list for Ristijarvi stops right before the dates i need.
Any info would help and be very much appreicated.
Thank You
Rachel
