This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Perhaps no one who is researching those Finnish places has relatives in Itasca county. Also when writing queries it is always a good idea to include the names, dates and places you know. From your Halttula village -Hankasalmi parish message, we thought you were looking for those places in Itasca county. Now by going back and reading your original query I see you were looking for family in the Squaw Lake area, but still no names or dates. I don't know what you are looking for or what you already know. I also suggest you do a message board search for the parish name and place a query on any message boards which seem related to the parish or the last name you are seeking. Many Finn families went to other places before and after settling or visiting the Iron Range, so you might find others searching that area of Finland by this method. I wish you good luck!
