Hello: My grandfather was Robert Israel Hiiemaa he was born November 17, 1886 . My father was Endel Israel Hiiemaa born March 3, 1925. His wife's name is Lilja Tynni Makynen-Hiiemaa. They had three children born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada.
Esther Susan Hiiemaa(Spurway)born May 20, 1955, Leila Miriam Hiemaa(Comeau) born August 1, 1961 and Robert Lee Hiiemaa born June 5, 1963, if you are related or have any information please e-mail me at esspurway@hotmail.com

Hello Esther,

Im not directly related to your family but I know some of your closer relatives who are living in Estonia. (Raid and Risto Hiiemaa). Your grandfather was married twice, had 2 kids from second marriage, he is buried in Uudeküla kalmistu (graveyard Uudeküla). Hes original farm was burned down in 1933 ( a large fire, which destroyed 17 buildings in a few hours in the village)
Your father was born and lived in the same village (Uudeküla) where I lived, therefore I updated the information in geni. I can see that your father and his brother (Leander) lived in 1938 Uudeküla village, Ansu farm. But how your father appeared in Canada that`s a mystery to me.😊
What kind of information you would like to know? Im not sure I can find much.

Best regards

Herki

Thank you for the information. It is an intersting story how my father ended in Canada. I will have my husband fill you in. I have my father;s refugee papers here.
