Surnames: Paananen's in Kivijarvi, Viitsaari, & Pihdipudas
Dear Anna
Our Paananen come from Kivijarvi & Viitasaari, Finland. Please let me know the name of John's father or his children, & I can hopefully send you more info re your particular family.

Our direct ancestor is Arvid b 1872 Viitsaari & lived in Kivijava (owned a grocery store), son of Abraham & Kristina Narhi, w Abraham having been b 1842.

Arvid's cousins included John, Ernest & Carl b in Pihtipudas about 1876-1882.

Carl remained in Finland, brothers John & Ernest Immigrated to US. John to cousin Djerf in Quincy MA> Ontario, Canada>Cromwell MN where he had 6 kids, incl Arvo. Ernest lived primarily in Ohio & NY.

Also, "Heikki"--Antinpoika Heikki (Henrik Andersson) Paananen, 1805-1859 married Anna Liese Kinnunen & they had 7 children, with son Juho being born 04/10/1841.

I'm still trying to connect all of the Paananen's in Kivijarvi, too.

What if anything do you know about Anna Kinnunen's parents, sibblings?
My grandmothers mother was a Kinnunen. Her name was Carolyn(Karoline). She married Lauri Piispanen, and besides my grandmother who was Sylvia, had several other children,. Most of the children immigrated to Quincy MA.
Prior to marrying Carolyn, Lauri had been married to her cousin Eva, who died I think in 1881 in Finland(Kivijarvi).
Today some of the Piispanen's are in the Chester, Ashby, areas of MA
My grandmother Sylvia m Alfred Nelson(also from Finland) Jan 1908 and had my dad Arvo(only child)Feb 18 1909. Lived in Quincy all their lives(sylvia however moved to reading after arvo's death to live with her daughter in law and 3 grandchildren and died in Melrose MA April 1978. Arvo had died in 1952(Nov 23).
The name Paanen is connected to this family,and I think its thru the Kinnunen's.
Please let me know if you see any connects, and what they are
Thank you
Barbara
