Surnames: Lehto Lötjönen
I'm looking for my mothers grandfather Edvard (or Edward?) Lehto, whow left Finland and headed America as immigrant between 1913-1915. Hes goal was to make money and then invite the rest family to America. After leaving Finland, he sent a postcard from England and told that he is still going to America. That is the last message about him. My mother told, that after that message, my grandmother was decades neurotic about phonecalls and sound of ringing doorbell. Rest of her life, my grandmother was waiting for his dad to come back. My grandmother died last winter...
I did visit the Ellis Island and faced a problem with the database. There is some Edvard Lehtos in those immigrant databases, but both them has arrived America about 10 years too early... There is one Edvard Lahti, who arrived America 1913 and was 22 years old.. He could fit in the image, but the surename is wrong. Could there be an error?
In 1905 Edvard changed his surename from Lötjönen to Lehto, but this doesn't matter, i think.
Is there any database in England like this? We're sure that Edvard reached the shore of Englad because of the postcard, but what happened for him after this? Why man, whose goal was to reach America leave in Europe and keep silent? Has he died accidentally?
If you know any Edvard Lehtos, please reply. I want to know!
