I had enough difficulty tracing the family names on this side of the Atlantic. Changes occurred at point of entrance into this country, either Ellis Is- land or Boston for my ancestors. Although the Finnish immigrant was highly literate, officials did not understand the Finnish lan- guage, spelling or pronunciation as well as interpreting the hand- writing. Additional changes occurred with the recording of homestead lands, census doc- umentation and in newspaper articles.

Their son Jacob Ja- cobsson Huntus also married a woman named Maria (Eriksdot- ter Greus) of Jokela. When Jacob and Maria moved to the Ahi- holm farm, they became Jacob Jacobsson Ahiholm. After the death of three of their children during a smallpox epidemic, they escaped to the Annala farm. They lost another infant but Maria, Jacob and their three sur- viving sons, Jacob, Johannes and Zacharias, all took the surname Annala. Jacob Jacobsson Annala and Maria Annala were my father’s paternal grandmother and grandfather. Their son, Jacob Jacobsson Annala, was my fa- ther’s father. Thank goodness he married a woman named Selma Sofia Seppa rather than another Maria. In October 1879, 20-year- old Jacob Annala left Kokkola, Finland, for America to seek his fortune and that of his family. Two months, later he arrived in Boston, where he was recruited to work in the gold and copper mines in Michigan and later the iron mines in Ironwood. As a child in the ‘50s, I was fascinated by a meticulously carved root that sat on the sideboard shelf at my Uncle Alva’s home, the An- nala homestead in Oak Grove. The root was silken to the touch, twisted like an ancient pine on Call today to connect with a SENIOR LIVING ADVISOR the windswept coast, one root ending in a horse’s hoof, another a cow’s hoof, a third a high heel shoe, all crested with a sala- mander. A vial was embedded in the center holding a thread of copper and nugget of gold. It had been carved by Jacob Annala, as a memento of his months in the bowels of the mines in Michigan and Wyoming, a series of incred- ibly dangerous, backbreaking jobs that nonetheless proved to be extremely lucrative. A symbol of success in reuniting his family in America. In less than two years, he was able to send for his broth- er, Johan, in 1882 and, shortly thereafter, their mother, father BETTER TV FOR LESS!

At the suggestion of members of the Hukari and Jampsa families, the entire An- nala family reunited in the Da- kota territory to homestead in the Finnish settlement of Savo Township, near Frederick, S.D.
