As far as I know, three of the six children (of Henry Kaiponen and Maria Liisa Pieniniemi) came to the U.S. - Henry Kaiponen, b. January 12, 1881, Muhos, Finland, d. 1960, MI. He married Margarette Moilanen and had 10 children. - Charles Michael Sr. Kaiponen, b. May 24, 1884, Muhos, Finland, (Oulu lääni), d. October 9, 1948, Rockland, MI. He married Hilda Moilanen and had 10 children. - Elisabet Kaiponen, b. August 5, 1887, d. January 27, 1912, USA. She married Juho Aukusti Keranen; I don't have any information about their children. Could you please write to me at rtcouture@yahoo.com and tell me the listed names you know in Ontonagon. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
