But I think that is a different Matt Kemppainen. I know there are several similarities, but the Matt I am looking for never had a Maud as a sister. Here is the 1910 census for Matthew Walter Kemppainen that I am looking for: Name: Matt W Kemppainen Age in 1910: 22 Estimated birth year: abt 1888 Birthplace: Michigan Relation to Head of House: Son Father's Birth Place: Finland Mother's name: Anna Mother's Birth Place: Finland Home in 1910: Franklin, Houghton, Michigan Marital Status: Married (This is Matt, his wife is the 19 year old Hilda right under his name and age) Race: White Gender: Male Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Anna Kemppainen 57 Matt W Kemppainen 22 Hilda Kemppainen 19 Elli Kemppainen 19 Arvid Kemppainen 15 Hilda A Kemppainen 10 Source Citation: Year: 1910; Census Place: Franklin, Houghton, Michigan; Roll: T624_647; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 115; Image: 288. As far as where they come from, I don't have the record of where Matthew Walter Kemppainen comes from but his wife Hilda Sivula, comes from Toysa, Finland. I would assume that Matt comes from there too. Most of Hilda's brothers and sisters stayed in Toysa and married there. Thanks again. If there is anything in particular that you are looking for, I will keep my eyes open for it. Take care.
