Hi all... I am wondering if it would be possible to find crew lists for the Nicolaus II/Nikolai II , a Finnish ship from the 1890's. I'm hoping for a mention of a Swedish crewman by the name of Conrad Walter BERGMAN. Another Swede by the name of Karl Fredrik ANDREN died onboard on 26 March 1898. I t...

Hi Taltaa... Yes I have checked out the Finlandia website. As you say, a lot of good stuff but not all of it online. But I keep returning to the site as they often have updates. Or there's stuff I might not have noticed on my previous visits. ----- I've finished browsing the Impilahti Lastenkirjat 1...

An update on my previous post... It looks like this is not Daniel's brother Andrew. An obituary for Erik HENDRICKSON was in the March 13 1952 issue of The Seaside Signal (Seaside, Oregon). It gives his date of birth as 18 May 1868 and his place of birth as Kannus, Finland. Combine that with a) the 2...

EDIT: Another red herring (harhautus?) but I will leave the info here See following post for update... ----- Grandfather, "Daniel HENRICKSON" spoke only "broken English" all his life & found it difficult to communicate with his family. Sometimes his wife assumed that from Daniel's stories, that he ...

Thanks for the info Timo.

Bit of a nuisance to know that the records are viewable only in Oulu.

At one time or another I've visited most of the Nordic countries but not Finland. Next time I'm in the northern hemisphere I'll definitely consider visiting Oulu

Thanks again

Hi again... Just an update. It wasn't necessary to email kotkanseurakunnat.fi as I've been gifted a subscription to SSHY. Very handy. I was able to search the relevant Anjala communion book and can now definitely eliminate Daniel HEIKINSSON. He was the Daniel born 9 Aug 1860 in Rysä, Kymi and was st...

Thanks again Timotk.

Will consider a simple straightforward email. The problem is that there are so many questions that could be asked

Regards

One more thing Timotk :-) Thanks for the link to kotkanseurakunnat.fi I'll give serious thought to asking them if they'd mind looking in their 1881 Communion Book. As we're on the other side of the world it seems to be the easiest way we'll get to see if Daniel from Rysä is the Daniel who moved to A...

Thanks Timotk for the translations. So "Folium i kyrkoboken - 57" may be a clue. Or not :-) Fingers crossed. ----- And thank you Jani for the additional info. Unwittingly you've cleared one thing up. I had seen the following on FamilySearch but didn't actually realise that the Rippikirja had been sc...

Hello again Timotk... Survived: maybe yes, maybe not... isn't that always the way :-) If the Kymi communion books didn't survive I'll have to try looking in Anjala. If you're interested, here's the background... Record 1: Daniel HENRIKSON, born 9 Aug 1860 at the Rysä farm in Huruksela, Kymi. Record ...

Hello Jani... Thanks very much for such a prompt reply :-) May I please clarify something, namely does your first post relate to Kymi. You mentioned Anjala in your second post but nothing specific in your first post. Assuming it does relate to Kymi, and as the Communion Books covering 1870 to 1890 (...

Hi, it seems that Jani and some other people have been quite busy and e.g. new books on Kymi are now found. http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/jasenille/naytakuukausi.php http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut_eng/jasenille/paikat.php?plid=261 Especially this (those moved out) 2013-02-04 01:37:14...

Hello Jani...

I had noticed the second wife but not made the connection to 1837. So thanks once again for your help.

Still haven't found the first marriage though. Something to look for another day.

All the best
Beg

Thanks for that :-) As long as rymt sort of implies that Matts Wilhelm left Kokkola I'm happy with that. And thanks Jani for the info on the different cathechisms. There's nothing like local knowledge. ----- Can I ask one more associated question. I can't find a marriage for Matt Wilhelm's parents, ...

Hello... Would someone be able to translate two words please from the 1862-1868 rippikirja for Kokkola. They relate to Matts Wilhelm LÖFMAN b.31 Mar 1847 (second to bottom entry) Kokkola Rippikirja 1862-1868 - Kuva 143 http://tinyurl.com/l63f9cm The first word is in the Spörsmål column and looks lik...
