My great grandfather was John Anderson. I don't know much about him except that he came to northern Michigan from Finland with his mother and one of his brothers.

He married a Finnish woman in Keweenaw county and they had lots of children and one of them was my grandfather Norman Chester Anderson b. Feb 14 1924 Gay Michigan d. Dec 10 2001 in Wolverine Michigan.

I hope someone can help me because I am stuck and don't know where to look.
