Hey Julie,
Mom showed me the stuff that you sent, and some of the stuff from Dena.I have the records that show them coming to Boston in 1901, but G-Grampa also returned again in 1902.I have not been able to find their passport records.It makes me wonder if G-Grampa had been in the US before 1901 and was already a US citizen.Most Finnish families that settled in Quincy were "sponsored" by a family already here.Grammie was born April 21, 1903 in Quincy, and her birth name was Helmi Martha Sivia Laine--when she dropped the rest I don't know.I asked Mum if Dixie might be of some help (U. Johns daughter) and she did not even know that he was born in finland, he never spoke of it.I have not found Saimis birth record, but I do have Ingrid and Adolphs.
