Hello!
My wife is Anna-Liisa Irmeli Savolainen, born 1/6 1948 in Joensuu, has relatives on her father's side, coming from Nilsiä.
Liisa's father was Aarre Ensio Savolainen, born 27/1 1920 in 'Viborg', died 15/5 2009 in Joensuu.
Aarre's father was Toivo Urbanus Savolainen, born 22/9 1896 in 'Pieni pappila', Liperi (near Joensuu), died 3/9 1957.
Toivo's father was Aaro Urponpoika Savolainen, born 15/3 1846 in 'Niinimäki 4', Nilsiä, died 20/4 1933 in Liperi.
Liisa and I had a summerhouse, an old village school, 30 km west of Sala, 160 km northwest of Stockholm, for 26 years. We sold this house in May 2021. The buyers were a family from Stockholm. The wife in this family was born and raised in Norberg, 50 km west of Sala. Her father is Taito Veikko Ensio Forsell, now living in Sala.
BUT, Taito Veikko Ensio was born Savolainen(!), 17/2 1941, in ”Finland”. He was ”sent”(?) to Sweden, around 1942-43(?), as so may Finnish children were, came to a ”well off” family in Norberg (Forsell), where he remained and was adopted.
Taito ”thinks” he recognize Nilsiä as his ”home place” in Finland!
Now we wonder, if it's possible to find (”digital”) documentation about these ”exported” children, to see if Taito can be found and if so, what documentation there might be about his Finnish background; parents, birthplace, brother(s) and/or sister(s).
We are curious to know if Taito and Liisa might be ”related”, somehow...!
