Johan or Oluf Pietila - Kemi, Finland > Alta, Norway > USA
I am looking for relatives of my grandmother's uncles who immigrated in the 1880's to the US. On her journey to Astoria, OR, USA in 1904 she stopped in the upper midwest to visit them. I am unsure of the state - the story is Michigan or Wisconsin.
One uncle was Johan Pietila born in Kemi, Finland in c.1845.
He left Alta, Norway in the early 1880's.
The other was Oluf Pietila born in Kemi, Finland in 1856. He left from Vadso, Norway in the late 1880's. I may have found Johan in a census but I am not positive. No luck with Oluf.
