Surnames: Paavola Lappalainen Este
Hi,

I am trying to find lineage information on a Elizabeth Sofia Paavola who married Andrew Lappalainen. They were married 1906 in Duluth Minnesota. They later moved to Port Arthur Ontario and changed there last name to Este. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I have a lot on the Este and Paavola families, but very little on the Lappalainens as I did not resaerch that line.

Andrew William [Ahti Vilhelm in Finnish] Lappalainen (b. c1875) was born in Finland. He changed the name to Este. He married Elizabeth Sophia Paavola on Nov. 6, 1906, in Hancock, Haughton Co., Michigan. Andrew died April 1, 1951, in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. He is buried at Park Lawn Cemetery in Sudbury.
Andrews Parents were Jonas Lappalainen and Maria Louisa Katariina Nupponen.

Elizabeth Sophia [Liisa Sofia in Finnish) Paavola was born July 1, 1882, in Lapua Parish, Vaasa, Finland. She died May 11, 1958, in Sudbury.
Elizabeth's parents were Johan Kustaa Paavola (1859-1900) and Kaisa Rantamäki (1862-1913).

If you live near Hancock, Mich., the library at the Soumi College has a copy of my book, "The PAAVOLA and Allied Families of Michigan and Minnesota." If not, I can send you a copy for $45, postage paid.

Hope this helps.

Hi Barrett,

Thank-you so much for the info. I will definitely keep yur book in mind if I need to research the Paavola line. My focus for the time being is on the Lappalainen family. One question I have is do you have a source I can cite for " Andrews Parents were Jonas Lappalainen and Maria Louisa Katariina Nupponen". This is very much one piece of info I have not been able to verify.

Again thank-you so much for your help,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I got the info about Andrew Este's parents from Jim Cowan's book "The Descendants of Heikki Paavola." Jim lives in Canada. After my wife died, (her stepmother was a Paavola) I packed all of the Paavola material up and put it in storage for my grandson. I will try to look for Jim's book soon to see if he listed any sources. If I still have it, I will send you Jim's address.
