Lauri,
Oliver was my dad. Back in those days legal adoption wasn't done much, I guess. We, our family wwent by the name Ilminen up to the time Moses's brother Charly (Kalle) was killed, and dad filed papers at the Courthouse, did we learn our last name was Koski. Dad had it legally changed to Ilminen.grampa Moses was the best grandpa to us kids. I remember the day he died. I wanted to be close to him and hid under his bed to be by him. I must have been five or so. So, is Alan Christiano your second cousin? I have all the info you referred to. Where do you live? If you have time, email me at lsullivan@gvtel.com. I live in Northern Minnesota, 300 miles from Ironwood.
Best regards,
Lillian Sullivan
