My great-grandmother Mary Ann Erikkila was the first Finnish baby born in the Thunder Bay area. She was born in Prince Arthur's Landing to Isaac Erikkila and Maria Laurintytär Erikkila (Nappala) on December 3rd, 1883. @Mary Ann Guerard.

Can you provide further details on Mary Ann Erikkila as to who she married, date of death, etc so that I can search my files for possible connections to Mary Ann?
Thanks Eldon Oja Thunder Bay

Sorry Lisa - I just went to your Geni profile for Mary Ann and see that you have already given all the info needed.

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for you message. Unfortunately I haven’t so far found any common in blood relatives, although according to the DNA tests I should have many relatives with the family name Erkkilä.
It seems that you are an in- law relative with my husband Tapani. However according to my mother we should have some further relatives in Canada. my father’s grandmother’s sister and her family moved probably to Canada from Satakunta area. We don’t’ know their names, but have still some old photos of them. So let’s continue to be in contact!

Best

Liisa
