SIO Leander and Hilda Kivisto and family (7 daughters). They came to the Fort William area around 1906 from Finland. Leander's brother Mattias was my grandfather.

Surnames: Kivisto, Jakobsson
Hi! My great grandfather was Leander Kivisto and my grandmother was his eldest daughter Anne. I've done quite a bit of research with regard to the family history and collaborated with my second cousin Darren who is the grandson of daughter Vi. I have been trying to learn why their name changed to Kivisto? Most records seem to refer to Leander's birth name as Leander Jakobsson. Any help you might offer is greatly appreciated.

Hi Melinda,
I think I've chatted with you a couple of times. I have no clue to your question. It's so hard when all the info is in Finnish too. Without Darren's help I would of had no idea about my Grandfather or Leander's parents. I had discovered Leander and family with clues from my mom. She's still living...she turned 92 last October. She remembers Anne, Laura, Lily and Eileen (?). That's all. She must of not of meant the rest of the daughters. Did I invite you to my tree? I put some pictures on there in hopes of identifying the people in them. It's either your side of the family or the Jylkka's which would of been my Grandmother's side of the family. I hope you and Darren are doing well. Sure appreciated his help and it's been wonderful to finally connect with my mom's family. Give him my regards. My mom's parents had both died by the time she was 12 so she doesn't recollect a lot. Well take care and keep in touch! Lori

Hi Lori - I don't recall seeing your tree. Please send it again and I'm happy to try and identify the people you speak of or if it's easier, send them to my email at geaumont@metrocast.net I'm happy to take a look and share what I know.
:) Melinda

Hi Melinda,
Just sent you an invite to my tree. Most of the pictures are under my grandfather's name...Mathias Nicholas Kivisto although there are some on some of the daughter's as well. Some are duplicates. Let me know if any folks look familiar. Thanks for helping me:) Lori
