Greetings!
My grandfather was Otto Kauppinen from Pihtipudas, who married Rosa Alina Kotilainen from Heinolahti. Otto's brother's name was Matti Leonard Kauppinen (born: 10-8-1879 in Pihtipudas). On 9-25-1903, Matti Leonard married Helmi Alexsandra Juhosdaughter Kokkonen (born: 5-29-1875 in Pihtipudas).
Otto, Rosa Alina, Matti Leonard, and Helmi Alexsandra all emigrated to Ashtabula, Ohio, U.S.A. Bethany Lutheran Church,933 Michigan Avenue, Ashtabula, Ohio 44004-2802 has excellent records regarding the aforementioned individuals.
Perhaps there is some relationship between Alexsandra Juhosdaughter (Kokkonen) Kauppinen and the Minnesota Kokkonen family, so I am provding this information for your review.
