Now IŽve found out the date of birth for both of my grandfathers brothers. Carl Oskar Oskarsson was born 1885-07-30 (July 30) in Keräsjoki in the county Norrbotten, Sweden. His brother Hans Petter was born 1877-08-11 (August 11) in Finland, probably in Kemi. They hadnŽt the same father. I believe Carl Oskar used the last name Oskarsson (with a little chaing of spelling maybe in USA). Hans Petter could also have used this name but thereŽs some other names he could have used too. They are Hannanpoika (name he got when he was born), Raumaniemi (stepfathers last name) and Mikko (his mothers name). They still left Sweden earliest in the end of 1800 but most probably sometimes in the beginning of 1900 or the middle Thanks in advance for all help. R-M Simu [email protected]
