Raimo Halvars: We all live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in either Newberry, Michigan or Marquette, Michigan on Lake Superior. My Grandmother Impi Maria Koivisto Lahti lived in Newberry, Michigan her entire time in the USA. Her husband Robert Lahti immigrated around 1902 from Ikaalinen, Finland. They married when he was 37 and Impi was 22. She was first married at age 15 to a Victor Ryberg who died two years later when she was 17 and they had no children. Impi Maria Koivisto Lahti immigrated to the USA eight years after her mother Susanna Lonn (born 7-7-1866) and lived with Susanna's brother for eight years after her mother came to USA to find and be with Matt Koivisto. When she arrived, she found that he had died. Impi was their only child. The youngest three children of Impi are still alive at ages 88, 85, and 80 (two girls and one boy). They lived on a farm raising some of their own food, and her husband Robert worked at an iron foundry in Newberry, Michigan until it closed. He then worked various jobs to provide for the family. They were both wonderful people and very dedicated to their families. Imp died at age 83, one day before her 84th birthday, in 1975 and Robert Lahti died at age 93 or 92 in 1969. All three of their remaining children have been married; one had no children; one had four children, and the other had one child. My one aunt would possibly be interested in writing to you by U.S. mail if you are interested. Carol McCutcheon
