GrGrandfather T Emil Tuominen came to the UP in 1904. Wife Kaisa Otilia arrived with children Onni (Ed) and Helia in 1910. 1920 census shows family living in Masonville, DeltaCo., with Emil working as a farmer and Ed in the lumbercamp. Ed married Suoma Pukaralmmi who worked as a cook in the camp. Ed and Suoma were my grandparents. Grandma had uncles in the UP, Kivimaki, Maki and Hill. My father was Theodore Tuomi who lived in Rockford, Illinois.
I believe my dad had an uncle in Chicago who visited a few times when I was very small. Dad also had a cousin in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan. Either a Maki or a Hill. Any clues about my Finnish relatives would be greatly appreciated!
