Have you tried the Finnish sites? I have a couple of links and have learned some interesting information. My grandfather came from Kestila Oulu Finland--his name Adam, DOB 7/27/1876. I could find the links for you if you want them. I also located my grandfather on the Ellis Island site.

Are these Finnish sites still operational?

Also, do you know any of Adam's near-relatives in Kestila? I'm specifically looking for Henry (Heikki) Keranen (b. 1874) m. Katherine Koskitalo, also of Kestila; son Lauri and 2 other children (gender unknown).

I'm just starting out, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am very sorry but I never recieved a notice that a reply was made. I have a Heikki Keränen, dob.1874, that is a brother to my Adam. Information I received sates he moved to the USA in 1900 & his wife, Aina Katriina Kiskitalo~dob 1875, moved to USA in 1905 with children. That is just a quick look at my records. I might have more but not sure at this time. I am in the process of filling out a family tree program and organizing a lot of papers I received after the death of my mother and aunt. Want to contact me by e-mail instead of this board?

I realize it has been a loong time since this posting.
I've managed to get quite a bit of information on the Keranen's and if you still are doing genealogy and want to compare notes reply to this message.
