LAASANEN Family in Montana from 1895 onwards
Posted by: Johanna (ID *****9051) Date: November 13, 2003 at 11:19:32
  of 7498

Greetings,

My great-grandmother was born to Finnish parents in Bonner Montana, and now I am looking for more information about her family. Could someone please check if the following man and his daughters are mentioned in a census? Erkki Laasanen is the father of my great-grandmother Jenny.

Erkki (Eric, Erik?) LAASANEN:
========================
- Born 11-22-1874 in Lappajärvi, Finland.
- Died 01-20-1923 in the US. Where?
- As far as I know, Erkki was a miner.

His daughters:

Jenny Maria LAASANEN:
=====================
- Born 01-06-1898 in Bonner, Montana.
- Moved back to Finland.

Esteri (Esther?) LAASANEN:
=======================
- Born 04-15-1899 in Bette/Betta/?, Montana.
- Married 03-27-1927 to Jaakko (Jacob?) PAULI/PAULIN.
- The husband was born 11-04-1899 in Isokyrö, Finland.
- Esteri probably died in the US. When and where?
- Did Esteri and Jaakko have children?

Tyyne Emilia LAASANEN:
=====================
- Born 12-26-1904 or 02-26-1904 in Grannit/Granut/Granit, Montana.
- Moved back to Finland.

Meimi Elviira LAASANEN:
=====================
- Born 01-30-1907 in Bette/Betta/?, Montana.
- Moved back to Finland.

I'm sorry for the bad spelling of the birth place names, but that's how the Finnish officials have written them down. I'm also not sure if those family members who stayed in the US (Erkki and Esteri) have actually changed their names to sound more American.

Thanks for any help!
