Danskain, Danskanen, Tanskanen

[Denise Heater]

Hello,
Does anyone have information of this family?

Henrik Danskain? Danskanen? m. Helena (Lena) Mjettinen? Miettin?
Children:
1. Påhl (Paulus) b. 23 Feb 1801
2. Anna b. 11 Nov 1806 Kontiolahti, Timovaara
3. Henric b. 2 Jul 1809 Kontiolahti, Timovaara
4. Anders b. 14 Jun 1812 Kontiolahti, Timovaara
5. Jöran b. 20 Dec 1813 married 7 Nov 1838 to Catherine Olofsdotter Haaranen born 17 Oct 1814 Kontiolahti, Kinamonsaari
6. Matts b. 8 Apr. 1815 Kontiolahti, Timovaara married 25 Dec 1838 Juuka, Kuopio to Christina Rautiain b. abt 1812 Juuka, Kaaja
7. Petter b. 8 Sep 1817 married 13 Jun 1835 Polvijärvi, Juuka to Stina Mickelsdotter Hirvoin b. 20 Apr 1814 Polvijärvi, Juuka (daughter of Mickel Hirvoin and Karin Jöransdotter)

I've written to the http://suvut.genealogia.fi/tanskanen/ website, with no response. It appears there is no longer a webmaster for the site. I've been told the ancestors of this family had something to to with Saint Olafs castle http://snor.joensuu.fi/olavinlinna/index_english.htm but do not know how true that is!

This is a tough one! :confused:
Thank-you,
Denise

Hi Tapani,
Thank-you for the additional information. I appreciate your time spent researching this for me. Maybe these clues will help me find their ancestors.

Best Regards,
Denise :)
