My grandmother Sigrid Tynne Eklund Kujanpaa was born in Gardner Mass in 1905, daughter of John (Juho-Kustaa) Kujanpaa and Sigrid-Maria Salonen. When Tynne was a few months old, the family returned to Finland for about five years before returning to America, this time in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
Juho-Kustaa was born in Kauhave on Aug.14th 1885 and Sigrid Maria was born in Tampere on Aug.6th 1885. I have photos of Juho-Kustaa and Sigrid Maria and have traced the Kujanpaa genealogy for about three hundred years. I am now working on the Salonen side of the family. I believe I have a photo of Sigrid Maria taken in Gardner, possibly with her sister in law Sanna Kujanpaa.
I would be happy to share any info I have.
