Aina Sigrid Määttä nee Brander -entry date to USA.
Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a good weekend.
Please can anyone help me with the entry dates into the USA, from Finland for the following people.
1. Aina Sigrid Määttä born 27.12.1882 - apparently arrived in the USA in 1915. I am assuming she was already married when she set sail. Her maiden name was Brander. Who did she travel with,her hubby? His name is John or Johan Määttä.
I would like to find out if they had any children together.
2. Tille or Matilda Määttä born 18 April 1912 in Finland. Not sure when she arrived in the States. Also, was she alone? Her father was John Määttä but I do not think Aina Sigrid was her mother, or rather, Im not sure. I have heard that John was married twice, once to a lady called Aina in Joensuu (nee Pehko) who died in childbirth then again to my great aunt Aina.....I think!
3. Also, is it possible to find out about the marriages for John or Johan Määttä please? I would like to find out if he did marry the ladies above. Apparently,he lived with his second wife on Lake Michigan and also had a home in Louisville. I am trying to find out if both his wives were called Aina.
I have tried using HisKi to find wife number 1 but have not been successful because I only have the name Aina Pehko to go on.
4. Also, is it possible to find a date of death for Aina Sigrid Määttä please?
It is all a bit complicated but I am trying to solve a puzzle involving my great aunt. Many thanks as always.
