Gail-
I don't know if this helps, because I'd like to know myself- this is what I gleaned from a family member in Finland before he died about my great grandfather-
JAAKKO MATINPOIKA KÄHKIPURO
Born: January 17, 1887 Alajärvi, Kähkipuro, Finland
Death: November, 1971 Greensboro, Caroline County, Maryland
"Jaakko is the son of Matti Juhonpoika Kähkipuro and Maija Reetta Juhontytär Pokela.In Finland, the town he came from, was socially unstable.There were ?hajyt?- violent men.They resisted the law, were armed with knives, went around in groups, and disturbed all weddings, balls, and funerals.They had no respect for the law.Most famous of the group was a cousin of Jaakko?s- Antti Isotalo."
I know forever and a half ago, I had the connections to how we were related, but this was before I wrote it down, and my computer crashed.By the time I got to talk to my relative again, he died, and his family didn't really seem to know what I was even talking about.I THINK I have a book, but it's in Finnish, that may have this guy that you and I may be talking about, but it's going to take a little bit of time.
So, we know he's real, just got to find the English version! Glad to see I'm not the only one interested in his story.
If I find anything, I'll let you know.I hope someone here can shed some light on it.
