My grandfather was Lauri Rissanen and I am searching for information on his family.Lauri's father was Petter Rissanen(born 1881)in Nilsia,Finland.Lauri's mother wasHilda Karvonen(born 1883)Finland.Lauri had 3 siblings:Irjo stayed in Finland,Weikko in Canada,Eino in Canada.All i know is that Petter's fathers name was Vilho Rissanen and Hilda's fathers name was Uurpanus or Urbanus Karvonen.Looking forward to hearing from distant relatives and help fill in the blanks.
