Rev. Ilmonen's Michigan Finnish Index

These people are listed in the book as living in the following towns in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  Some listings contain where they were born in Finland, that will follow the last name. The ones in parenthesis are their original name in Finland. 

I believe if there were just a few people living there, such as a  farm, then they called it by the persons last name.  Example: Jarvenranta was most likely the Jarvi family who lived in Ahmeek for instance which is not too far from Lake Superior.

If I could not figure out the English spelling I left it as written in the book.  I have no further information on any of these people.

This list may contain errors.
