Hi, Amy,
I don't know of an Emma Paananen. Ernest Paananen, a famous violinist/composer who was born in Finland and came to the US where he died, is related to me.
There is a mailing list that includes people seeking information about Finnish relatives (among other Finnish topics), and people willing to offer information answering questions. I've gotten help there and the folks are great!
The URL is
http://finnishancestors.netYou can sign up for free and post your questions there. I'll bet you'll get help there.
I recommend it.
Happy hunting,
Paula
