Vaissinen

[Cathy Hokanson]

I have recently learned that my origin is Finnish. The we are from the Forest Finns.  The oldest ancestor in this line was Päl Vaissinen born about 1580 in finland. He had two sons that I know of - as listed below: The # 2 generation. Anders and Knut.  I have a document that states Anders was living in Norra Viggen village, Ny Parish, Värmland in 1652 and his father and one brother were living with him and his family.  The brother was named Knut.  I would like to learn about the descendants of Knut Pälsson Vaissinen and if he and Anders had any more siblings?  I would be grateful for any information available.  Thanks,  
Cathy

Hi Cathy!
 
Jarl Ericson wrote a book in 1996 Finnar i Östmark, Vitsand, Nyskoga, Södra och Norra Finnskoga and the book describe how the Finns arrived to these parishes in the northen part of Värmland. In the chapter Norra Viggen he writes Anders Pålsson Vaissinen bought land already 1652 and from the records its appear that Anders Pålsson arrived with his father and several siblings, among others Knut Pålsson. Further he describe the family of Anders Pålsson Vaissinen as he and his unknown wife had 4 sons and 3 daughters and they are the children You have mentioned above.
 
If You are interested I can scan the appropriate pages from the book and email You!
 
I am related to Karin Andersdotter Vaissinen in her 2nd marriage!

Hello Per,
I sent you a reply yesterday but I guess it did not get posted.  I wanted to thank you for the information you sent and tell you that I am interested in the scanned pages you mentioned.  Also, would you be willing to share Karin Anderdsdotter Vaissinen marriages and descendants.  I would like to gather as much information about the Vaissinen family as possible.  Hopefully I will be able to learn which part of the family immigrated to America - possibly to New Sweden Delaware.

page 140 - the top paragraph
page 142 - the whole page
page 143 - paragraph starting with  Ritten Kundle and paragraph starting with  PÃf¤;ades Fomslam
page 144 - the last paragraph on the page

I know this is a lot to ask but I was not able to translate it.  I would be grateful for any help available.
