I am of Ikola ancestry...my Grandmother was the daughter of John and Mary Ikola, Cherry, Minn., Anna Elizabeth Ikola Niemi Comeau..one of 13 children..
She was born in New Hampshire on her way with her parents from Finnland..
I know they went to RedLodge Montana and ran a boarding house with either Parents of Mary or John....and then I think went to Eveleth, Virginia, Cherry, etc...Minnesota...
Mr grandmother married Matthew Niemi, a young immigrant from Finland, in about 1914, and they had 2 children, Helen Evelyn Niemi Baratta, and Walter Henry Niemi. All are deceased.
My email is
tlcco747@fidnet.com..and please email me, if you are related in anyway...we are tracing down as many relatives as we can...hoping to make a large family site here.
The names involved will be, Ikola, Niemi, Trebilcock, Gregory, Land, Pope, Comeau, Baratta, Thysell, Treb, Russell, these are the closest names at present in my mind, that are involved with the Ikola name thru marriage and blood.
