I'm looking for Impi Maria Koivisto(maiden name) and her possible descendants in USA. She was born 18 March 1892 in Laihia,Vaasa, Finland. Her father was Matts(Matti) Koivisto born 22 March 1868 in Teuva, Vaasa, Finland and Matti died 24 April 1894 in USA accidentally, but I don't know where in USA. Matti has gone alone to USA probably in July 1893. I dont' know when Impi Maria has left Finland for USA, but in the Laihia parish register it has been written she has gone to USA. Impi Maria's mother was Susanna Lonn and she was born 6 July 1866 in Laihia, Vaasa, Finland.Impi's mother has not gone to USA with her. Matti Koivisto was my grandfather Erland Koivisto's brother in other words my mother's uncle. Matti's one brother Alexander Koivisto has lived in Minnesota close to Duluth. I hope someone can give me information about Impi Maria,
Raimo Halvars

You wrote, I dont' know when Impi Maria has left Finland for USA.

I found a passport record on the Institute for Migration site. Impi Maria Kovisto's passport was issued 6.21.1902. Born in Laihia in 1892.

I do not see a corresponding Passenger record for an Impi Maria Koivisto leaving around 1902. There are several Marias. There is one Impi leaving in 1912.

I do not see a Passport record for her father Matti. There are a total of 8 passport records for Koivisto of Laihia.

Found her here:

There is a 1920 + 1930 census record that seems to be a match: Impi M Lahti, born ~1892, immigrated 1902 married to Robert Lahti living in McMillan, Luce, Michigan. On the 1930 census they have 5 children. This led me to her death record which gives the birth date you want- 3.18.1892.

There is a death record for Impi Lahti born 3.18.1892, died 3.1976 of Newberry, Luce Michigan.

I am the granddaughter of Impi Maria Koivisto. She did not come to the USA with her mother but with some other people who brought her to her mother. Her mother Susanna Johnson died 5-1-45. Susanna's husband Matt Koivisto died (don't know what year) and she remarried a Tom Johnson who died before she did. Impi was the only child of Susanna. Impi married and had seven children (one who died as a baby and three who died as adults). She has three living children yet (who are 88, 85, and 80).

I am the granddaughter of Impi Maria Koivisto from Laiha, Finland. She did not come to the USA with her mother but with some other people eight years later who brought her to her mother Susanna Johnson who died 5-1-1945. Susanna's husband Matt Koivisto died in Minnesota (don't know what year), and Susanna remarried a Tom Johnson whom she died before in 1945. Impi was the only child of Susanna. Impi married, had seven children (one died some time after childbirth) and three who died as adults. She has three living children yet (ages 88, 85, and 79--almost 80).

Hi!

I'm Matt Koivisto's brother Erland's grandson...Matt Koivisto has died already 24th April 1894. Erland also visited USA a few times, but always came back to Finland. Youngest brother Alex(Alexander) Koivisto left also Finland for USA and one of his sons Reino Koivisto already 92 years old is still living in Minnesota. I myself have visited USA three times, lately 2007.

Best regards, Raimo Halvars
