Siren, Alex |
Jaakkima |
b. 12 June 1882 |
Alex came to US in 1903 but can find no record. He married Lydia Kupila in New York Jan 1905, later moved to Minnesota. Marrigage record shows father's name as Matthew and mother as Anna Maria Tikhman (question on spelling). Have found no record of Alex's birth to a Siren family, but there is a record of Johan Alexander born June 11, 1882, to Matts Kopsa and Anna Maria Tikkonen in Jaakkima parish. Does anyone have any info on Alex? |
