Help in finding family connection

[Lynette1]

I can’t find the birth record anywhere for Juha Eino Anttila born in Lappajärvi on August 9, 1906. I believe his father was a Juha Anttila (perhaps son of Erkki Erkinpoika Anttila born December 22, 1830 in Alajärvi and married to Kustaava Heikintytär - but that is just a guess).
I am trying to figure out how I and a person living 50 miles away from me here in Connecticut are related.
Somehow Juha is related to Heikki Erkinpoika Anttila (born September 12, 1851 in Alajärvi).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lynette

Family in communion book 1904-1913

Father: Juho Marianpoika Anttila b. 12 Dec 1877 Alajärvi ??? (probably changed in copying)...)
Mother: Anna Rosiina Jaakontytär b. 8 Sep 1882 Alajärvi
Following father backwards in time:

That one names his single mother Maria Erkintytär Anttila b. 27 Dec 1839.
Her confusing birth record has her name as Lovisa (probably confused with the next baby when entering the record)

But in the first communion and so on has her name as Maria.

Communion book 1850-1857 shows siblings Maria and Henrik b 12 Sep 1851 among others

Following Maria Erkintytär forward, you may find Juho Marianpoika's correct birth date and place....

Thank you so very much!
She is the one sibling that I lost track of in the archives. I would have never suspected that it would be Maria!
