GEDCOM Note

>Mom said that gr-grandpa and gr-grandma were Nels Wittaniemi and Emma Kaisa Stark. She had a brother named William...When she and her brother came from Finland, she was already married to Nels and and they had five children...she and her brother had been orphaned when they were quite young and had been auctioned off as indentured servants and taken in by a German family (I think that is where the Stark name comes in)...don't know when they came to the U. S. but they would have had to come through Ellis Island...

Note: BB - Records of Kemi and Tervola Finland show a number of families named Stark living there.

Shown on 1900 census as having had 13 children, 7 of whom were still living. Two living children did not appear on the 1900 census. They were probably no longer at home.

In 1930, she was living with Toivo's family at Jacobsville. She states she came to the US in 1890.
