I know of a young fellow in Tucson, Ariz. whose name is Uurtamo. His parents migrated to the U.S. and may be the only family here, but he says others by the same spelling are still living in the mother country. Anyone know?

Yes, we have still few families still living here in finland i'am 23 years old.Ask me anything, I was sad, when I read, Stephen T Uurtamo was killed In Korea during 1950's. I´m proud having name Uurtamo.

Sorry, i can't speak english very well but I´m quite pleased,when someone is trying to find some information about finland/or Uurtamo family. Please,send me e-mail i'll answer to your query

Sorry, name went wrong, should have been Steve not Stephen.

I am from America and consequently am an "Uurtamo"
i don't know much about anyone in finland that is related to me...but until recently we were the only family here with the name. I do know my father has in the past tried to correspond with someone in finland who was of relation to us but that is all. What would be helpful?
sincerely, Davin Uurtamo

Sorry, i´havent read this page for a VERY long time. Things, what found from finnish "registry of people", sorry, i don´t know which might be the correct term. But nowadays 82 Uurtamo lives in Finland 38 man and 44 women. 27 women has ex. name uurtamo (they have married) so they have taken husbands surname.So total is 109. Registry says, 53 Uurtamo has passed away.
