I have since found out that my grandfather was actually named Johan Verner Backlund (and not Vaino Werner) and that he had 11 siblings.Their names were: Brita Johanna; Ida Sofia; Anders Emil; Jenny Maria; Anna Irene; Erik (died as an infant); Alfred; Lovisa Erika; Erik (another child with the same name); Jakob Viktor; and Rudolf Valfrid.In Canada my grandfather was called John (or Jack). As far as I know this family lived in Vasa Finland.If any of this rings a bell with anyone please contact me.Thank you.
