I do know that Anna (my grandmother) was married, had childred, and widowed before she married Andrew Palo. I do know that she came from Austria/Hungary. I did not know her first husbands name so this is very exciting for me.

Re: Andrew T. Palo and Anna Jakubov

catsmcelroy — 2009-04-19 22:24:54Z

My Mom was Catherine Palo. She was born in Washington state and Andrew and Anna Palo were her parents (my grandparents). I had an Aunt Betty in Tacoma.

I was known as Judy & I have a sister, Geri.

Re: Palo Balo connection

Rhian78 — 2008-03-23 07:25:02Z

I am Gary Balo, the only grandson of Andrew Balo of NANAIMO, British Columbia. Andrew Balo had the original name of Palo when he immigrated, but it was changed to Balo at at some point during the immigration. I am uncertain if he had a a brother named Charles. Andrew and Sophia Balo had 2 children, Eili Balo and Ivy Balo. Eili married Doris Addison of Nanaimo. Ivy married Reg Emms and they had no children. I am the only offspring of Eili Balo. I married Teresa Hastings and we have 2 boys, Andrew & Tim BALO. Hope this information can shed some light on your search. Sophia Balo's maiden name was HAAPALA and had 3 brothers and 1 sister. All 3 brothers lived in Washington State and the sister lived in NANAIMO. The sister ALMA married BOB ALLISON.

Dear Ronald,
The information I wish to know concerning the Family Palo I will ask from my Grandmother Dorothy. The only information which she does not know is, and which I had interest, is the life of my father.
I had not seen him for a considerable amount of time. I was quite interested to find out what he was doing, and thought quite ignorantly that he would be interested in how my and my brothers' lives were going.
I have left you my email address. If you would like to converse please respond.
ps. I don't need a Daddy anymore, but I would like to know how my father is doing. I have no bitter feelings concerning the break up of my parents. I am older, with my own family unit. Life is too short. Things happen. Give my regards to Ann.

Was the name ever shortened? From what I understand there was a family fued and the Palokari's came to America (WA State) because of customs they shortened the name (PALO)
And the fued caused on side the Change to BALO. (like HALO) pronounced.
Please do e-mail back when you can!
