John Erickson b. Sept. 21, 1854

[Michael Bankston]

I am currently trying to find a relative named John Erickson b. sept. 21, 1854 who emigrated to the United States around 1881 and settled in Astoria, oregon with his Wife Josephina Aronsdtr. Lantto  and their children. My records indicate that John was from Haparanda, Sweden. I have asked one of my sources and she came up with this person:
JOHAN ERSSON KESKITALO
Male
Event(s):
Birth: 21 SEP 1854 Ruokojarvi, Overtornea, Norrbotten, Sweden
Parents:
Father: ERIK HENRIKSSON KESKITALO
Mother: BRITA ANNA GRETASDOTTER
 
I was wondering if anyone could find out if this person emigrated or got Married to a Josephine or Josephina. I don't have much experience with Swedish Records so far. I have all the information on his Wife Josphina Aronsdtr. Lantto. She was from Ylitornio Finland. She was born Dec. 6, 1854 to Aron Henrikson Lantto and Maria Adamsdtr. Rahtu. The 1900 Census for Astoria,Oregon, USA States that John and Josephina were married close to 1877 which means they got married before they emigrated. This is all the information that i have about them before they came to the US. I appreciate any info. Thanks again.

Have not been able to find more on JOHAN ERSSON KESKITALO and his wife. Not found them emigrating, the records are, however, far from complete. Maybe travelled via Norway.

Browsed marriage records for Haparanda and Övertorneå from 1875 until l880, negative.
Do you know first names of the children?

Thanks to Norwegian helpers at Digitalarkivet.no I got this information:
 
Marriage in Vadsö, Norway on 28 Sept. 1877..
 
Johan Eriksson Stålnacke and Josefin Lantto ..
Why Johan calls himself Stålnacke, will try to find out but I have seen that name before in Torneå.

The Norwegian wedding record shows the birth date as September 23 1854.  
At that date is Johan, son of Johan Eric Eliasson Ståhlnacke (as I read) and his wife Eva Johansdotter, born in Övertorneå.
(Övertorneå C:4 Födde 1846 - 1870)
 
According to Svar, census 1870 is Johan Eric Eliasson Stålnacke born 1821 in Öfvertorneå Moder. The wife is dead.

Mats found the correct birth record for Johan Eriksson, Sept 23, 1854.  
There was another birth record same page for a Johan - with a father Keskitalo.
