My Finnish grandmother, Aino Nykänen, had four sisters, coming from Haukipudas, Finland. Her sister, Tilma, immigrated to the U.S. and, according to my mother, married "a drunken Swede" named Ray. I have no idea what his last name was. I realize this is just a shot in the dark to expect anybody to make the connection.
Also, their parents were Alexander Nykänen (1870-1909) and Alma Kirjavainen (1870-1910). Both died fairly young, apparently in or near Haukipudas. Does anybody have any suggestions on finding anything more about them. I have a cousin that lives in Oulu, but he apparently doesn't know any more than I do about this family.

Tilma Aliina (b. 1899) got passport 1922 and travelled 30.7.1923 from Finland to Chicago. Aino (b. 1890) got passport 1915. From pay-sites and archives it is possible to find what ever you like. Older family data is open:

Thank you for your reply so quickly. I had found the immigration information for both Aino and Tilma. I'll look at the other link. Thanks!
