I am trying to track down any information that may exist about the identity of the father of Eufemia's first child, Aune Rinne born in 1904.
I believe the father is my grandfather Robert Reinhold Sjoholm Sumu born in 1880 in Ylane. We were told that he fathered a child in Finland before he moved to Canada. He knew Eufemia growing up as her father Juha Jaakonpoika Mikander married Robert's aunt Brita Danielsdotter Sandbacka after his first wife (and mother of Eufemia) died in 1886. Robert and Eufemia were the same age and would have been raised as cousins- but not blood related.
This information was provided to my father back in 1966 by my father's cousin Uuno Runko and we are trying to find any proof of this connection.
Thank you!
