Känner någon till Johannes Persson Björk f. 5.11 1852 i Såka?
Jag har föräldrar och syskon och vet att han for till Amerika 1872 och enl. June Pelos information dödförklarad 1943.
Söker närmast efter ev. giftermål med Sofia som ev. var född 1853.

The following was posted on the Suku Forum and since I can't reply to the forum, I'll post my reply here:
Johannes Persson Björk / Såka
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Johannes Persson Björk b. 5.11 1852 in Såka / Finland emigrated to Amerika around 1872.
I am wondering about his wife Sofia - who was she, from where and when did she married with Johannes.
They probably lived in Duluth
Johannes had several brothers who also left Finland for Amerika; Karl b. 1850, Alfred b. 1861, Anders b. 1856 and Matts Wiljam b. 1864
Best wishes and thank you for any kind of help.

I have this family in my database, but no information about them in America, except for son Anders, b. 1856. He married 29 Nov 1890, Coos Bay, OR to Lovisa Mattsdotter Ventjärvi, b. 22 Sep 1849, Karleby, d. 6 Jul 1942, Coos Bay. I have a note that Anders could have died 4 May 1917, Marshfield, OR.
Anders had a sister Maria Lovisa, b. 1867, Karleby, who married 21 Mar 1891 in America to Matts Alfred Mattsson Enlund, b. 1857, Karleby, d. 18 Apr 1925 in America.

Finlander Forum member, Karen Norwillo, made the following note:
Ilmari and June,
I found a wealth of info about the Björk family on an Ancestry Family Tree. It includes some pictures of John, Sophia and son William as well as info about the other brothers and sister Maria. If you can get me an email for the person who's looking, I can get them in touch with the owner of the tree. The photos are his and I don't want to pass them on without his permission.
I can tell you this, Johan (John) Bjork died 3 Jul 1942 in Duluth. Sophia, still no surname, born 1863 and died 1916 in Duluth. I found them in the 1905 MN Census and the 1910 Census. I also found the widowed John in 1930. Their son William 28 Apr 1886, died 19 Nov 1937 in Duluth. He drowned. He was married and had a son. I have info and pictures, but I want permission from the owner before passing on. William used surname Burke.
On the other brothers,
Anders born 11 May 1856 in Gamla Karleby
Alfred 15 Nov 1861 Gamla Karleby, died 3 Jun 1930 French River, St Louis, MN. Was married with 6 children. He used Burk.
Matts 4 Oct 1864
Maria Björk Enlund 8 Jun 1866- Oct 1939.

Here's more census records. Found Alfred and family in 1920 and John and his daughter-in-law and grandson in 1920. Looks like she's divorced from William.

Enlund
This is an example of how people changed their names. Alfred Enlund was born as Matts Alfred Mattsson Indola and then at some time he took the name Enlund.

Ilmari got me connected with the lady on Suku and I've left a message on Ancestry for the owner of that Tree to see if I can get them connected. I've found some new info that he doesn't have, so maybe he'll be willing to share.
Looking at Hiski for Gamlakarleby, the date of birth for Alfred Björk should be 20 Jan 1859 not 15 Nov 1861. There was also another daughter Charlotta born 26 May 1855. The index only goes to 1860, so the other births aren't on it.
