My father Frederick William Maninga, has relatives in Mengha, MN. I was just looking at some of the information. As far as I can tell, my great grandfathers name was Paul Jumisko Maaninga. However there are my different spellings of Maninga, on my grandfathers SSN application it is spelled two different ways.
