Robin. Just yesterday, Luoma surname, came into my massive Finnish Research.
I learned that my grandmother's brother who had been born in Finland to Lauri Piispanen and Karoline Kinnunen, and had immigrated in 1900, settled in MA(Quincy, Chester area)
married a woman named Alek Sandra (or Alexsandra) Hietikko. Her mothers maiden name was Luoma, given name was Sofia.
If you have any information about those relatives in MA, I'd like to know them, maybe just maybe theres some connection.
William and Alexk married May 30, 1905, in Pigeon Cove MA
(I think that is part of Rockport Ma--Cape Ann) They may have settled in Quincy, MA(Norfolk Co) or Chester Ma (area-Hampden Co).
If you would prefer to, please feel free to e-mail the information at
