Niemi name change
I just came across this website while looking to see if there is a Niemi family crest. Anyway, i'm not sure how useful this info is but when my grandfather came over with his parents they changed their name from Niemi (actually Punkoniemi... not sure of the spelling or if its hyphenated) to Gulf. My grandfather and greatgrandfather's first name is/was Charles, as is mine. Just thought i'd pass that along...
