Aino Lehto (Jaaskela) born April 26, 1908 Haapavesi, Finland and died August 17, 1956 Port Arthur, moved to Canada December 19, 1926. Aino's husband Anton Lehto died May 8, 1974, moved 1926 to Canada from Sakkijarvi, Finland (Nisalahti), which belong to Russia nowadays. They don't had children. His second wife was Impi. Aino's sister Mary Holmquist (Jaaskela) born May 2, 1906 Haapavesi, Finland and died March 18, 1954 in Port Arthur, moved to Canada November 24, 1928. Mary's husband Roste Holmquist born Sept 7, 1908, moved April 9, 1927 to Canada from Halmstad, Sweden with his brother Georg (born about 1896). Roste died Nov 6, 1969 in Sechelt, BC. Mary and Roste had two children Margit (Margareta) & Einar. Margit's husband is/was Leonard Poho. We believe that they have children. Einar's wife's name we don't know. Aino and Mary had a Mainline Cafe, corner of Court and Bay Street in Port Arthur.

Does anyone know about these people or their children? Relatives from Finland wish to make contact with anyone who may know or have knowledge or pictures of this family. PLEASE contact me if you do so that I may pass along the message!
