    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TNC.2ACI/2708.2.1 Message Board Post: That's great, Peter. I have been helping a Dutch fellow trying to find his wife's Finnish ancestors who had spent some time in the Frank and Lille. Apparently, Liisa (Maenpaa) Hakkila died on Sep 12, 1906 in Canada. On the 1906 census Hakkilas were living in Lille at the end of June with 2 sons- Ilmari b. Oct 10, 1904 and Wiljam b. Dec 16, 1905 (both b. in AB). I have found a passenger record for Antti on his own leaving Finland on Sep 26, 1906 and travelling to Frank. That's only 2 weeks after the death of Liisa. I have not found a burial record for Liisa in the Crowsnest Pass (I have the CD). It is possible that Antti brought the body back to Finland for burial and left the 2 young children there for family to look after. Is it possible to look up a person with the death date as many times the spellings vary? On the 1906 census the family was listed as Heckkla. Thanks for your time, Peter. Wilma
