Niemi, Maria Odelia * 1874 gift Honkonen til USA_

[Liv Marit Haakenstad]

Hei!
En person i USA søker etter røttene til disse personene i Finland.
Er det noen som kjenner til disse navnene?
 
Name at time of death: Maria Odelia Honkonen
Date of death: 11/5/1958 in Thomaston Maine
Date of Birth: 12/24/1874 in Finland
Her Maiden Name: Maria Odelia Niemi  
Maria was the daughter of Erick Niemi and Mary Maki.  
 
On family marriage certificates she has two different last names listed on them. The following are the last names and how they appear on her marriage certificates:
 
Maria's son, Elmer's, marriage certificate lists her last name as : Bohesneimil
Maria's marriage certificate to Oscar Honkonen shows the last name as: Bohisnanie
 
I do not know the year she came to the US or what port she sailed into. I also do not know what part of Finland she was born in. Maria's first husband was John Nestor Johnson who was born in Finland as well. I do not know if she was married when she came to the US or not. I do know the rumor in the family is that she came to the US alone when she was a teenager.  Apparently John disappeared and never came back home, so she ended up marrying Oscar Honkonen on April 26, 1916 in St. George maine. He was the son of John Honkonen and Hannah Erickson. Oscar was also born in Finland on November 25, 1885 and he died in St. George maine on October 14, 1938.
