Ivar Kujala, Ida Jalkanen
I´m interesting to have any information concerning my ancestors, who went from Finland to Canada.
My grand uncle Ivar Nikolaus Kujala was born 18.7.1886 Finland. Ivar left from Finland to Canada 17.11.1923 and his destination was Halifax.
My grand aunt and also Ivar´s sister Ida Sofia Jalkanen was born 28.6.1876 Finland. Ida left from Finland to Canada 01.12.1923 and her destination was St.John. She had her sons Tauno Elis Jalkanen and Lauri Johan Jalkanen and also her grandson Toivo Valdemar Johansson with her, when she went to Canada.
Tauno Elis Jalkanen was born 14.9.1913 Finland and Lauri Johan Jalkanen was born 3.11.1914 Finland. They used Lindberg as their surname instead of Jalkanen, when they were adults.
Toivo Valdemar Johansson was born 25.3.1917.
Also Ida´s elder sons Viktor Olavi Karlson born 13.3.1901 and Leo Lennart Karlson born 17.9.1902 went to Canada. Viktor Karlson left from Finland to Canada 20.01.1923 and Leo Karlson left from Finland to Canada 01.12.1923.

Re: Ivar Kujala, Ida Jalkanen
Hi there Katariina,
I am not actually a relative to Kujala family but my great grandmother's sister Fiina Armida Rissanen married Viktor Olavi Karlson in New York in 1923 so that makes us relatives through marriage. I am in regular contact with Viktor and Fiina's descendants and I think they would be absolutely thrilled to get in touch with you.
So I am asking is there any other way of contacting you? Can we find you on Facebook or some other social medium?
Sincerely, J. Markkanen

Ivar Nikolaus Kujala was my grandfather. My mother, Eila Marjatta (Marietta here in Canada) Kujala Yeates did some research into the Kujala (and Yeates) family trees, which I have in my possession and wish to share it and add to it.
Ivar married my grandmother, Ester, 22/06/1912. Ester was born 25/06/1893 in Finland. They left Finland with their two children, Arno and Ester. Two other children born to them, died as infants in Finland.
If you are still searching for detailed information, please contact me.

Dear Heath_s04,
I would be really interested in getting more detailed info about Ivar Kujala and his family. If interested I also have photos of Ivar Kujala's parents taken in Kotka.
I am not currently a subscribed to Ancestry so I can't private message you - would you have any other way of contacting you outside Ancestry?
Best, Jere Markkanen Kotka, Finland
