Hello again,
It took three hours to find this family and also her grandparents. All of thedocuments are in internet but on a site that requires membership. I can copythose documents and e-mail them to you. It takes another hour to collect andwrite down the information in English. Original documents are in Swedish.
My fees can be found from here http://www.laukanranta.fi/in-english, at the end of the page. I will ask from my bank how the payment can bedelivered from USA to Finland.
Whatola is a changed version of the original surname Vahtola. Kaisa was born inPudasjärvi 6th Feb 1867; her father was Oskar Gabriel Vahtola and mother KaisaSaarikoski. There is a marking in church register "Amerikkaan 1892"to America in 1892. Also her brother Juho Oskar Vahtola moved to USA with hisfamily in 1901. Obviously becaus he did not want to go to the Russian army.
Bye for now,
