Does anyone know anything on this family, Adolph Kustas Pietila was born 24 Nov 1875 in Oulu, Finland and I think he died in Greenland but I am not sure, his wife was Sophie. Anything on their life, death, or burial would be great. Thanks

I still need to find them in the 1900 and 1930 Census for Michigan, and also where they are buried.
If I can find them in the 1900 Census there parents should be listed in the same census or nearby.
Hopefully, there parents came over from Finland with there Children, if not, will look into other search areas for them.

There is a G. Adolph Pietila buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Greenland. His headstone reads that he was born November 24, 1876 and he died June 30, 1923. I'm assuming that the G stands for Gustaf. I don't see a wife buried with him although maybe she is and there just isn't a marker.

Hope this helps.
