Ggfather from Finland

Surnames: Ruskaleni/Thompson
All that is known, name sounded like RUSKALENI. He was born 12/24/1854 in Finland, changed his name to Charles V. Thompson when he came to the US as a young man. I don't know the ship or port of entry. Is there any hope?

Charles Thompson is on the census three times at Ohio, but you probably know that already. On two of them the emigration date is unclear, but on one it clearly says he came in 1880. I tried to find that voyage but couldn't see him.

You probably know that he was a Cobbler and shoemaker, and that he was married to Mary and had four or five children.
