Query Text: |
I am looking for information about my grandparents - Helmi Ahvon, could be a different spelling such as Evens, Avon or Aven. Born in Finland (Helsingford) Helsinki? Sept.18,1886 - died June 11, 1950 in Canada- - name at time of death was anglosized to Helen Hindrea - She could have a twin sister or perhaps Identical twin sisters born in Finland. We have a picture of twins, but no names on the picture. Helmi (Helen) either had a birth defect or suffered an illness which left her with a limp. She travelled alone to Canada at age of 16 years in 1902 -1904. Her father was a ship's captain described as a very tall man. We think his name was John. Helmi worked as domestic/ cook between 1904 - 1918. She married John Lehtola in Oct. 1906 - 2 children , one girl named Mabel Bertha, one boy named William Oliver. John Lethola left his family between around 1910 -1914 and it is possible he took residence in U.S.A. Helmi remained in Toronto supporting her two siblings.. She re-married Alfred E. Hindrea 1919 - moved from Toronto to Port Weller, Ontario, Ca. They had son Alfred. Looking for relatives living in Finland, U.S.A or Canada. Both sides of our family are from Finland and we are very proud of our heritage. Hoping for some information and thanking you for any information. H.M. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
