Karl Albert and his wife Alexandra received on 12.4.1886 passports for travelling to USA. In Gothenburg they are listed as finnish emigrants travelling 5.6.1886 on Argo to Hull with final destination Chicago Cook Co Ill. Another source says that they were going to Philadelfia. These photographs however indicate strongly that they ended up in Minnesota, probably in the neighborhood of Minneapolis, if not in the town itself.
It is possible that Alexandras parents, Ivan Moldakoff and Anna Sittkoff also emigrated to USA or at least made one or more trips over there.
In older family notes it is mentioned that Alexandra died in 1931 and that Karl and Hanna had died earlier.
I am grateful for any information about this family. Where they lived, when and where they died, any descendants? Also any advice on where to search for more information is appreciated. Please click on the email address below to send me your advice.
I have tried some sources on the web, like cemeteries in Minnesota, USGenWeb and FamilySearch but not been able to find anything that conclusively could be connected to this family. I am simultaneously approaching any relatives in Finland for information.
