NO clue..no ship name or do I know what part of Finland. I dont even know what ships came and went or where they arrived or anything! That is what I am working on to find out. I am not sure if they would have changed their name after they arrived or perhaps during the transition. And I am not sure why sooo many of them named themselves Nelson either... there are so many of them it is almost funny.
It is kinda interesting too... it seems as though they brought numerous family members with them and stuck together in the same little community with other Finns too from what I can read from the Census.
