Maija-Liisa:
Thank you for replying to my post on the geneology website!Yes, the name of the one brother was Henry Wedenoja.I have just been given a little more information by my father about these relatives.Apparently my great-great grandfather, Johan Wiihala (again, not sure of my spelling of the name or the translated spelling), came to the United States in 1885 from the Kalajoki/Oulu area in Finland to New York.He brought with him 4 sons:my great-grandfather, Andrew Heikkila (who came with his first wife and I believe a daughter named Helmi), Henry Wedenoja, and one or two sons with the last name Wiihala. I don’t have any information on the family names of the relatives they left behind in Finland, and that is what I am trying to discover.
All of my ancestors from both my maternal and paternal sides came from Finland.I believe my maternal grandfather’s parents came from Ii, but I don’t have any of that information available at this time.I eventually would like to trace my roots back through all of my grandparents if I am able to find a site or someone who would be able to help me in Finland.My Finnish is limited to about 4 or 5 words, so I am having a time trying to find assistance in English!
If any of these names appear in your family book, I would greatly appreciate any additional information you would be able to provide!
