My guess is you are decendants of Fred Kivi. He was born in Piippola, Finland. Send me your e-mail address and give you more info. Arne Heikkila (aeheikkila@aol.com)

My father's name was Theodore Matthew Kivi,
and my grandfather was Matthew Kivi, married
to Aili Lehto. All I know is that they raised
their family in Chisolm, Minnesota, but my father
was born in South Range, Michigan. I remember
something about a hardware store there called
Kivi Hardware. If this sounds like something
familiar to anyone,let me know.

My wife's grandfather Charles Toumla married Hilda Kivi. Hilda was the sister of Matt. Charles was the vice-pres of Kivi M Co in South Range (1916-17 Polk Directory Houghton Co.) Matt had brothers Yolmer, Arvo and Leonard.

Frans and Alexandra were my grandparents. My father was Theodore Kivi. I would love to hear from you. I see your post is dated in 2000. I hope you look back once in a while. Chereestone@aol.com

It's been 11 years, but here I am, looking back! Sorry it took so long! I was in touch with Matt Kivi for a while right around the time my grandfather, Harold Kivi, died. That must have been 2004. My mom and her sister starting fighting over his estate and suddenly Matt and my mom's cousin Louise stopped e-mailing me. It was very sad. I was just trying to find out about our family and didn't want to be involved in any family bickering. But before they stopped talking to me, Matt told me that there was a lot of silence in Frans and Alexandra's home. The way of the Finns was that their words were weighted heavily so if there was nothing important to say, they didn't say anything at all. So it must have been hard for the kids to learn about their past too. He did have some great things to share with me about his family though, and he knew the names of Alexandra's parents and all of their children. I would love to hear from you.

Hi! What a surprise to hear from you. If my Uncle Harold was your grandfather, than your mother is either Sandra or Jolene, who are my first cousins. We haven't been in touch since we were kids. I would like to know more about you and your family. You made my grandparents, Franz and Alexandra sound a little mysterious. We always visited them on the farm in the summer. I am Cheryl, my dad was Theodore, Harold's brother. I have a brother John and sister Barbara. My sister and I live in the metro Detroit area and John lives in Florida. Please tell me about your family. You are cousins to my children Elyse, Darren and Courtney. They are all in their 30s. Darren is a design engineer at GM. The doors, sides, etc. on the new electric Volt are his design, among many others. Please tell me about you and your Mom, etc.

My wife's (Sandra Jarvinen) grand uncle was Matt Kivi who operated the Kivi Brothers store in South Range. I do have a family history on my Ancestry account. Please have a look to see if there is a connection. Your grandfather could be the son of Matt Kivi, particularly if your GF's middle name was Yolmer (or other variant).

Best Wishes,
