Ollila, Uno b1884-1888 Sweden. Emigr bef 1912

[Karen Norwillo]

I am looking for the emigration of Uno Ollila, born 1884-1888 somewhere in Sweden to parents from Finland. His WWI Draft card says Uno Jalmar born 24 Nov 1884. He arrived to US before 1912 and lived in Republic, Marquette, MI. He married there in 1912. Parents names given as Petter Ollila and Christina Antila or Anttila from Finland.I have info from in US except his death which occured between 1920-1930. Any help greatly appreciated. I know this isn't the most complete bio.

[Maud Mårtensson]

Found a boy named Uno Hjalmar, born 24 November 1884 (baptized March or April 1885) in Huuki, Pajala parish, Norrbotten county (Pajala kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/HLA/1010153/C/4 (1877-1888)). Parents Simon Petter Olli and Karolina Mäkitalo. Which does not agree exactly with the information given on the WWI Draft card.
 
This family in 1890 Census:
Simon Petter Olli, f. 1845 i Finland, Hemmansäg.
Karolina Mäkitalo, f. 1854 i Pajala
Jenny Maria, f. 1875 i Pajala
Agnes Sofia, f. 1876 i Pajala
Lorens Arvid, f. 1880 i Pajala
Uno Hjalmar, f. 1884 i Pajala
Engla Syrena, f. 1886 i Pajala
 
Perhaps someone with access to emigration records can find out if this  Uno Hjalmar went to North America.

There is an Uno Hjalmar born on Nov 24, 1884 on the homestead of Olli at the village of Huuki in the parish of Pajala, Norrbotten.  
 
His parents are stated as Simon Petter Kangosjärvi (born on Feb 7, 1845 in Finland and dead at Huuki on Nov 27, 1924) and Karolina Mäkitalo (born on Feb 16, 1854 at Pajala and dead at Huuki on Feb 21, 1895).  
 
After the death of his first wife, Kangosjärvi marries Eva Johanna Karlström (born at Pajala on Apr 15, 1871 and dead at Pajala on Nov 21, 1955) on Mar 24, 1902.
 
This Uno Hjalmar leaves for the US on Jun 2, 1903 so it is very likely that this is the person you are looking for. He probably uses the surname Ollila (from Olli) as it is easier to use than Kangosjarvi in the USA.
 
He sails from Gothenburg to Hull on the vessel Volo on Jun 15, 1903 and continues from Liverpool to Boston, where he arrives on Jun 26, 1903 on the vessel Commonwealth.

Maud,
  Thank you so much. I think this is the person I was seeking. Information on those US documents are often in error.The birth matches and Petter and Karolina match. Many of the sibling names match names given to Uno's children in US.

Karen,
 
I am Uno's great-grandson!  I have information on all of his children, grand-children, great-grandchildren, and now great-great grandchildren living in the U.S.  Feel free to contact me at chris.mandarano@gmail.com.  
 
I would like to know about the other siblings mentioned above.  I do not know which ones lived and had children, etc.  If you have information, I would greatly appreciate it as I am working on our genealogy for the family in the U.S.
 
Sincerely,
 
Christopher (Ollila) Mandarano
 
 
Jag är Uno store-sonson! Jag har information om alla sina barn, barnbarn, barnbarnsbarn, och nu stora-barnbarnsbarn bor i USA Tveka inte att kontakta mig på chris.mandarano @ gmail.com.

Med vänliga hälsningar,

Chris,
 
This is what it looks like for your great grand-father's 100 % siblings:
 
a) Jenny Maria born on Feb 5, 1875, died on Sep 11, 1899 at Huuki (never married).
 
b) Agnes Sofia born on Sep 5, 1876, died on Oct 10, 1956 at Huuki. Married on Dec 12, 1901 to Anders Henriksson Pikkarainen born on Aug 4, 1873 in Finland, died on Mar 13, 1941 at Huuki.
 
c) Lorens Arvid born on Feb 22, 1880, died at Huuki in the period 1930-1946 (will get back to you with an exact date - probably never married).
 
d) Engla Syrena born on Nov 25, 1886, died on Sep 5, 1949 at Nedre Vojakkala, Nedertorneå, Norrbotten (abt 150 miles south of Pajala), married on Aug 8, 1915 to Mattias Arvid Sammuli born on Jun 9, 1882 at Nedertorneå, died on Oct 21, 1964 at Nedertorneå.
 
e) Anna Ottilia born on Jul 27, 1892, died on Mar 29, 1975 at Huuki. Married on Oct 10, 1915 to Jonne Einar Utterström born on Mar 24, 1890 in Finland, died on Nov 28, 1980 at Huuki.
 
In addition to this, as you can see above, their father was remarried to a much younger woman in 1902 and they also had a number of children, who would then be your great grandfather's half-siblings! I will get back to you with that info as well.
 
I will also separately provide you with the address details of what I believe is the grand-son of one the above mentioned persons.
 
Regards
 
Anders
