Could anyone help me with further information about the following 3 families. I´ve been told that some of the families lived in BC, but i dont know which of them. 1. Sophia Josefina Rahkola b.20/12 1858 She moved to USA 1883 from Sweden. Married to a Otto Rahkola b 1851/1854 This family most likely lived in Hougton/Michigan USA 2.Isak Valther Persson Aidanpää b. 24/2 1869 came from Sweden in 29/5 1887 (Brother to Josefina). I HAVENT FOUND VALTER IN THE CENSUS. Did he live in Hougton/MI/USA or in BC/Canada? Some years later their nephew joined them: 3. John Olov Johansson Aidanpää b. 20/12 1884 d. 26/12 1912. He died in "North America" According to swedish records. And left two children: John Sigfrid b.24/10 1910 and Lydia Sofia b.10/4 1913 I HAVENT FOUND either of them IN THE CENSUS It is very likely thet they might have changed their surname using Johansson/Johnson or Person. Thank You for helping me. Sincerely Fredrik Mattsson-Sweden
