From your message, I couldn't determine if you are also seeking information on Matti Kananen.
He was born in Alvajärvi in the Parish of Pihtipudas to Matti Kananen. The name of the farm/home was Rantonen.
This information obtained from Rippilapset / Confirmation records for 1892-1893.

Hi
Do You know Matilda Palosaari's (b.1880) birthplace.
I have the same surname as Matti has and my father's father was born in Pihtipudas. All Kananens are related and actually their origal surname was Kolehmainen before 1600's.
