Their Diamond anniversary was celebrated quietly on February 21, 1949.

Magdelene is recorded on various documents as Maydelene, Magdelene, Magdella and Magdelina. She died October 20, 1954. She was 84 years old. She is the daughter of Dan Newman who also homesteaded in Skanee, Mi. I have been told that he had seven children. Five of them are Maria Newman Elmblad, Magdella Newman Ohman, Alma Ohman Kingstrom and Johanna Ohman Wick, and Petter Newman. Two of the sisters married men with the last names of Oust and Seavoy. This information has been given to me by Eunice Dove who is a descendent of Allen Elmblad. I know that Johanna had no children and I also met her over 50 years, ago. At that time, she was living with Arthur and Walter at the Ohman homestead. She had a glass eye. She is buried at the Skanee cemetery, as well as Magdella, and Marie. Petter is there, as well.

When the Ohmans migrated from Sweden, they are noted and remembered as having come from Delarna, Sweden.

I am a descendent of August Paulson who returned to his birthplace, Gotland, Sweden and brought my grandmother, Ida Jakobson to America. She was much younger. Her daughter was Marie, who was my mother.

I am looking forward to learning more about your family and sharing what I have that belonged to your ancestors. Marilyn

POW/MIA Korean War, Baraga Co. CHALIFOUX, MADOSH

powmiadna — 10 Mar 2008 8:48:29 GMT

I am searching for the family of two soldiers who was killed in the Korea War. When they entered service they gave Baraga County, Michigan as their home of record.

Soldier: LAWRENCE FRANCIS CHALIFOUX
Born: September 8, 1908 Caucasian
Date of loss: Feb. 13, 1951 MIA

Soldier: HUBERT ALEXANDER MADOSH
Born: March 8, 1926 Caucasian
Date of loss: November 30, 1950 MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 102 families from Michigan that have not been located. There are two families from Baraga County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.

Titus Johnson (Tuppiluhta?) and Sofie Hedvig Ahola

CStanley84 — 3 Aug 2006 4:55:31 GMT

From the translation of: Amerikan Suomalaisten Historia by Rev.Ilmonen , 1926, (translated by Alicia Marshall)
Pequaming [MI]:
Titus JOHNSON (Tuppiluhta) from Ylistaro.
I believe that this is the Titus Johnson that married Sofie Hedvig Ahola, daughter of Stephan Olsen Ahola and Ida Marie Abrahamsdatter Luusua. Sofie was born 22 Dec 1878, Vadso, Norway and emigrated with her family about 1888, to Michigan's Keweenaw or Houghton County. She married Titus Johnson 3 Nov 1894 in Calumet, Houghton, MI. Titus was born about 1872 in Finland. They were married by Rev. A.L. Heideman, witnesses: Sofia Torsberg and Andrew Lundgren, both of Calumet, MI.
After their marriage, I cannot find a trace of either of them on any records. Could they have used the farm name that he may have carried from Finland? I've had no luck finding any document with the Tuppiluhta surname, so wonder if there is an error on the spelling? Do you know what possible spelling that is close to the Finnish surname (Tuppiluhta) that I might be most likely to find on census records, etc?
Thank you for any help you may give!

Victoria married a Bielski.

Hello,
Lowell checked with Paul and they went over the complete cemetery in Herman. Only 1 unmarked grave. They did not find anything close to what you are looking for.
We are going to go to the BCHistorical museum and check the birth and death books over there . They start at 1875 to 1962. Maybe we will find something there.
Paul is also going to check with one other person from Herman. Wish us luck.

Seeking cemetery of Olga Marie (Pulkinen) Rautio Toivonen Hill, 1882-1965

catnip82 — 7 Oct 2006 7:58:43 GMT

Somewhere in or near the town of Baraga my grandmother, Olga (Pulkinen) Rautio Toivonen Hill, is buried. We visited her grave in the summer of 1977 or 1978. All I can recall of its location is that two of her sons thought the cemetery was right next to the church, but it turned out to be a few miles away. They were Finns so it was likely a Lutheran church.

After visiting the cemetery, we stopped by the local newspaper and they printed a small article on the out-of-town visitors to Olga's grave.

Her third/last husband, the one who lived in Michigan, was Charles Hill, who died in 1963. He and Olga married sometime after 1950. She died in 1965.

Olga's 2nd husband died in 1950, Gusti Toivonen. I'm not sure if he might be buried in Baraga, also. I'm not clear on exactly when she moved from Tioga Co., NY, to Baraga, MI.

Would some kind soul please help me to discover what cemetery Olga is in? Any additional info would be great, too. Thanks!

Death Records for Emma Morin (Gauthier)&Eliza (Sharp) Nesbitt

PattySueNesbittPowell — 18 May 2006 2:07:53 GMT

I am searching for information about two of my paternal great grand-mothers.

Eliza Sharp(e) born in 1864 in Canada married Hugh Nesbitt (born in 1858 in Canada) after 1880. They lived in Baraga. He was a hardware merchant according to the 1900 census. They had four children: Mary Margaret (1886); William (1889); Madeline (1895) and Hugh Gerald--my gf (1897).

Eliza died somewhere between 1900 and 1910--Hugh is listed as a widower in the 1910 records.

I am also looking for Emma Morin (born 1884) who married Alphonse Gauthier. They lived in Pelkie and had two children Mildred---my gm (in 1903) and Malvin (in 1906.) Emma died in 1906. Alphonse (my ggf) had a general store in Pelkie in the early 1900's---there is a photo of it on the Baraga County Historical Society website.

I cannot find any information about Eliza or Emma and would like to know when they died etc. and possibly who their parents were or where they are buried.

I am the "last" Nesbitt in my family that I know of (only two Nesbitt boys---one was a priest (my father's brother) and my father only had me---and I'm a girl. I would love to be able to put together a family tree for my four children...

Thank you...

She had siblings William Edgar and Carrie as far I know. Or if anyone could help me with my family tree in regards to Peter your help would be greatly appreciated.

Peter Crebassa and Nancy Rousseau

Robert Lachance — 17 Jul 2005 4:01:44 GMT

I am seeking information on the marriage of Peter Crebassa and Nancy Rousseau. I would like to know their marriage date, marriage place and their parents names (maiden names).

Peter Crebassa was the founder of L'Anse, Baraga, Michigan. From a letter he wrote to his nephew John George Crebassa of Sorel, Quebec, Canada on 12 Aug 1850, I know that Peter Crebassa left the Sorel area around 1825. http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/e/e005/e000108851.jpg

He must be related to the Crebassa line of Sorel which counted many notaries from 1795 to 1860.

three (3) grandchildren and several nieces and nephews

The 1920 L'Anse Sentinels did not carry an obit for Andrew (his father)

Are any of Eino's three children still living? Since none were born in
Baraga County there are no records, if you have their date of births there
may be a mention in the L'Anse Sentinels of their births, but for that
research I would need the dates of births and also of marriage, often times
even though not registered here the paper would carry some of these events

I will try in the next few days to get this all typed up and send you a
"hard copy" of what I was able to find

thank you for your donation to the BCHS

letter from relative:

Hi Kriss,
Sorry you haven't heard from me...my internet connection was down this week and I am finally getting to my email. I think we may have already spoken about this, but Kristi's grandfather's name was Eino...he had brothers, William, Nels, and Victor. He also had sisters, Lempi Hutula (she was Lempi Makela, but was a widow and married Charlie Hutula in later life), and Lydia (married Einar Erickson). There was another sister who died in the early 1900's from the flu or pneumonia, but I can't remember what her name was at the moment.

So, if you find out or read any articles from or about people from that area of the UP, you probably are reading about Kristi's relatives!!! Talk to you later...

Frum/Peterson/Huovinen - specifically Oscar N. Peterson

Cheryl Kozicky — 2 Feb 2002 3:21:24 GMT

I am looking for information regarding Oscar N. Peterson.

Oscar was born July 9, 1896, in Pequaming, MI to Nels and Helen (Huovinen) Peterson. At the age of 9 he moved to Kingston, MN (with his grandfather? John G. Huovinen?). I have NOT been about to locate anything that documents this: birth certificates, immigration, passenger lists, census, etc. So far this just sketchy family history.

My understanding is that Oscars siblings were: Bruno, John, William (aka chinkie) Sylvia and Rosie.

Some say that Nels surname before he came to the US was Frum.

I have most of the history of Oscar once he reached Kingston, MN (1920) - however am in the dark as to his parents, when they arrived to MI - where they came from (is Nels of Finnish or Swedish decent?)

I know that the John G. Huovinen Family gained citizenship in 1888 - although I have been unable to uncover anything that tells me if Helen Huovinen is either a daughter or sister of John G or any relation at all.

Please contact me at cakozick@msn.com if you have any information.

My interest in Baraga County is that my grandfathers older brother, Samuel Blanchette, was supposedly living in Pequaming around the same time. I have located my grandfather, Alphonse, in the 1900 census in Calumet. I am interested in how to obtain census information for Pequaming (L'Anse township) and catholic church birth/death records for this period. Both he and my grandfather were married in Princeville, Arthabaska County, Quebec from whence they came. Samuel died around 1904 and his family at some point moved to the Duluth, MN area. My grandfather took his family back to Montreal in 1913.
