Surnames Filippi, Rannanjärvi,Johanpk ,Mattsdr,Salumäki,Thamass:n,Gustafsdr
Finally got somewhere with my Finnish family!!! I was wondering if anyone else was working on any of these people. My information is a little incomplete, but I now have a general idea about things. My gg grandfather was Mikko Filppi he was born 13 Aug 1864 in Laihia in the farm/villiage of Kylanpaa. He was the son of Herman Johanpk and Maria Mattsdr. He had at least 2 sisters (still looking) Anna Elizabeth b. 25 Mar 1863 and Maria b. 15 Sep 1865, both were born in the same place as Mikko. I found this informationhttp://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/HisKi-digiarkisto.php?bid=2896http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/HisKi-digiarkisto.php?bid=2896 (click on 229.jpg and he is the first one listed).
Mikko married Susanna Salumäki. Susanna was born 16 Jun 1869 in Harma, Vasa, Loani, Finland and was the daughter of Jakob Erikkson Rannanjärvi b. 4 Jul 1843 d. 22 May 1874 and Maja Johansd. Susanna had at least 2 sisters Maria Lovisa b. 21 May 1870 and Lisa Sofia b. 22 May 1872.
Jakob Rannanjärvi's parents were Eric Thamass:n and Kaisa Gustafsdr. Jacob had at least 7 brothers and sisters they were,
Johan b. 18 Sep 1840
Gustof b. 21 Mar 1828
Caisa Greta b. 4 Feb 1833
Susanna b. 25 July 1835
Erik b. 31 Jan 1838
Anders b. 17 Dec 1845
Wilhelm b. 29 Jan 1848
Hope some of these names jump out at someone!
