I believe that they are the same person, likely our Henrik Luusua. As far as I can tell from the transcribed marriage records of his children, he was married twice. Once to Mary Kerkalo (sp?) abt 1883, and next to Amanta Kotajarvi (sp?). 1920 census has him with Amanta, children Charles, Sena E., Ano W. and Lillie, living in Republic, MI. I have found the names of 6 of his children. I believe the first four were by his wife Mary and the last two by his wife Amanta. They were: Ano W. Lusua b. abt 1885 MI (probably Calumet, Houghton), of Republic, Marquette, MI, in 1920. Charles Lusua b. abt 1887, " " Sena E. Luusua, b. abt 1890, Republic, Marquette, MI (per 2nd marriage record). Married August Walimaa, 22 Jun 1912 in Republic, MI. Second married John Paakki, 12 May 1920 in Houghton Co. MI. First marriage she names her mother as Mary, second names her mother as Amanta. Alfred Lusua b. 07 May 1899, Republic, Marquette, MI, per birth record. Lilly Lusua b. 05 Sep 1900, Republic, Marquette, MI, per birth record. Henry, Lusua b. 12 Jun 1894, Calumet, Houghton, MI (per birth rec.) I haven't found any information on Henry in MN, - yet, but there are others with the surname LUUSUA in MN and I've got to believe connected!
