Mom's father was Karelian, from a little village on Lake Ladoga south of Sortavala (now part of Russia). We visited Pohjois Karjala in the summer of 2006.
Mom's mother's family moved to the USA from Ii, a small town in North Ostrobothnia between Oulu and Kemi. We are going there next summer.
We are not sure about dad's mom. That is a future project & trip!
