My great grand father was Gustav Jaakkola (Emil's brother), born in Saaksmaki, paart of the Metsakansa Parish.
According to my info, Emil was "killed by reds Finnish War of Independance".
It also says they had a brotherr Karl (shoe maker in Tampere), Eugen, Frederik, August , Hildor...hand writing is hard to read....I've got more info on the Saaksmaki Jaakkola, most is "suomeksi"...
I do know that parts of that family ended up in Cleveland OH, Calumet MI.
My grandfather (born Kuusta Frederik Jaakkola in 1914) moved to Canada (Timmins ON, Sudbury ON) in 1923
His Older brother Aarne was actually born in Bischel, Arizona.....I think he went to Russia and was killed after his son was born there.
If these are the same Jaakkola's: please let me know.

P.S. Fred changed his name to Jackson after the War
