I tried that Web site monthes ago but they were not taking more work if that is the same site, I will try again. My Great Grandmother Sanna Kangaanpaa son John Somppi went to America twice. I found 5 John Somppi's going to America one with Isaac Somppi all about the same time and very close in age all from Ylistaro. I have 4 Great Aunts Sanna, Mina, Mary and Ida. I did hire a Researcher last Nov. but I keep looking because I don't have any hope.
Thank You

Hello!
Yes, there was many Somppi-families in Ylistaro, for example; Johan Somppi and Maria Michelsdotter(25yrs). Their son Hedvig was born 3.5.1846. I found one Isak Somppi from Ylistaro(born 1879), who migrated to America and Sanna Jemina Somppi(b.1883) who also moved to America.
Actually, if you don´t know this already, here´s a good site to look for ancestors(or atleast I found it useful to locate my relatives):

-I think there should be some good links!

Hello Solveig,
Could the Family name come from Kyro an area close to Ylistaro, Vaasa, I found a reference on a map to the town but the only Town I found with that name was in the South in the Hame area. I found a reference to Kyro in Vaasa area in a History Book. It was were a great battle took place. so I hope it is the right area.

My Father or his Aunt related the name for his Grandmother as Kangaanpaa, they both spoke Finnish so I thought they were correct, her Husband name Isaac Somppi some say that is not common also. Maybe Solveig Bernitz could respond.

I just checked www.genealogia.fi/hiski,
to see if there were any Kangaanpää-names in the churchbooks, and there WAS!
I was actually suprised, because I was so sure it was Kankaanpää...Well, anyway:
Most of the Kangaanpää-families lived in the Westside of Finland, in such towns like; Alavus, Ahlainen, Jalasjärvi, Kalajoki, Kristiinankaupunki, Lapua, Loimaa, Perho, Peräseinäjoki, Sievi, Tyrvää and Ylivieska.
Just let me know if you need some help to search some names or something!

You may be right I have seem the towns name,
on one Death Certificate it is Kenjaanpaa.
The Aunt simply said Kangas, what do you think?

Hello!
There is actually a place called Kankaanpää here in Finland and it´s also a very common surname. I haven´t heard of a name Kangaanpää
so I think it´s probaply Kankaanpää.
Maybe you`ll find information from this address: www.genealogia.fi
