I'm trying to track down where my family came from in Finland. My great-great grandpa, Heikki (Henry) Karvonen was born in August 1874 in Finland. He married Hilma Karolina Isokytta in Kotka, Finland in 1899. They emigrated to America in 1900 and ended up in northern Michigan.
Henry's dad was also likely named Henry, or Heikki. I assume Henry was the Americanized name. I don't have any information about Henry's mom - not even a surname. On the death certificate, it's listed as "unknown".
