Ancestors of Willard Kola or Helen Kreiger, nee Kola
I am looking for a daughter to Willard Alexander Kola, who was born 1 May 1923 och passed away 18 December 1989. He used to live in Oregon. His daughters name would be Suxanne Bentley.
In addition, I am looking for decendants of Willard´s sister Helen Kreiger, who was born 29 June 1915 and who passed away 2 April 1991. I think that she lived in Oregon, too.
Their relatives in Finland is looking for this information

I too am interested in the relatives of their father Ernest. I am trying to find out if he is related to Henry or Kasperi Kola. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Ancestors of Willard Kola or Helen Kreiger, nee Kola
I think that Ernst Kåla is not a close relative of Ilkka Kola. (His first name is likely to be spelled Ilkka, like in Finnish). Ilkka Kola probably belongs to a Finnish -speaking group of the Kåla/Kola family. I assume there are people in Kaustinen and Kokkola in Finland who have this surname Kola, spelled with an "o". Ernst Kåla belonged to the Swedish -speaking group. His father ´s name was Alexander Kåla and all members of his family spell their name with an "å".Ernst Kåla was born i Kokkola (Karleby) and moved to Oregon, where he died in 1952. He hade a son named Willard, who had a daughter and a daughter named Helen, who had a daugheter. Another son of Ernst Kåla, Sigurd (?)was blind and did not marry and had no children. I wish you luck in finding Ilkka Kola!
Best regards, Freja Häggblom

Thank you so much. My relatives did come from Kaustinen and I was able to stumble on the HISKI project which helped me with finding the correct relatives. The fathers name was Matti.
