Introduction

The following extraction was made as part of a continious effort in charting the lives of our Finns and Balts, as well as their descendents, in Russian Era Alaska. And, as this extraction was made directly from a copy of the original Index, in the Library of Congress, the results might somewhat differ from other published attempts. All the "none-Russian" European names have thus been transcribed from the Russian language. This means that they have twice gone through such a prosess. That is, originally these names were transliterated from their original versions to "fit" the Russian Cyrillic alphabet and sound system, then, when this Index was produced, the same names were transliterated from the Russian Cyrillic into English and the Latin alphabet and sound system. And, as these "foreign names" were initially recorded according to various Orthodox churmen's personal interpretations, the resulting many-wrangled versions, has made the identification prosess that much harder. As an illustration we have the extremely wrangeld name Hyörä in connection with Nils Tervoine which conclusively provided me with an identification (see Hyörä). Therefor I believe, many, if not most of the names I actually looked for have passed me by quite un-notised. Those names I have identified are here presented in alphabetical order, as most of these individuals' birth dates and birth-places are yet unknown, and their arrival dates to Russian Alaska, and thus Russian American Company service, are in most cases still quite uncertain.

Each listing starts with:
Line 1: page numbers from which the information has been extracted, followed by a ( ) with the particular form / forms the name was found listed under.
 Line 2: the believed original form of the name, and within () the form, given in this Index, sometimes followed by [ ] within which I have indicated the person's persumed nationality, and on occasion, some added information, when awailable to me, including Colonial Citizenship.
Followed by birth date, and place, if listed,
and death date and place.
Followed by marriage partner's name, date of marriage, and place of marriage.
and birth date and place, if given,
and deathdate and place, if located.

Note, that obtained Colonial Citizenship indicates the individual had obtained permanent residency in the Colonies. This particular category was instituted during the latter part of von Wrangell's governorship (1830-1835). However, it was not acted upon until Governor Etholén's reign (1840-1845). Of interest to note is that both governors were none Russian North Europeans of the Evangelical Lutheran persuation. Principally, the intent was to encourage the growth of independent Creole communities from which the Russian-American Company could draw a steady flow of needed workers, and thus minimize their constant labor-shortage.²

However, offering Colonial citizenships was not the only means the company applied towards achieving such goals. It additionally actively encouraged cross-cultural marriages, particularly between its "imported" white caucasian lower- and middle-ranking civilian male emplpyees and its Creole females found within the Company's North Pacific domains.^2b To make such marriages yet more attractive to middle ranking males, it aggressively set out to educate young girls by establishing a school for girls in Sitka during Governor Kupreianov's reign (1835-1840) set up by Madame Kupreianov. Finding this not sufficent, the Company's board president assigned the wife of the next governor, Margaretha Sundwall Etholén, to expand the school's reach, by etablishing a boarding house attached to the school, as well as asked her to expand the school's staff and curiculum. Thus the Company's school (mainly geared to educate Creole girls) drew a large number of attractive girls to the Company's North Pacific capital, offering the Company's "imported" males (stationed in the othervise notoriously female-poor Sitka) a most tantalizing parade of budding female beauties drawn from all over this vast North Pacific region. The Company's first Evangelical Lutheran pastor, Uno Cygnaeus testified to this in a letter home: "With the education these girls are nowadays receiving here, we'll end up with a number of quite passable ones to feed our marriage market!".³ In effect, by excercising past as well as present business tactics,^3b the Company used these young females as "bait", nudging its lower and middle ranking male employees into marriages, by which it hoped it would make these men more eager to extend their employment contracts for an additional seven years term of duty.^3c A case in point is found in Aaron Sjöström's letter to his brother Carl Wilhelm Sjöström in 1851. "Thank God, I have found myself a good wife, so decent, honorable, and industrious, so well versed in all the female endeavors, especially in finer work. When the Etholéns were here she was given a truly good education at Madame Etholén's (educational) establishment."^3d (See below listing under Sjöström.)

It seems appropriate to mention that the Company's boarding school for girls had by 1840 the need for a second teacher who was hired from Finland by the name of Maria Fredenberg,^3e she reached Sitka in the summer of 1842. At her departure in May of 1849 her position was filled by Aleksandra Malakhov, born May 19, 1829 in Sitka, died June 18, 1859 in Sitka. Daughter of Peter Malakhov and Liubov Sukhanov. Between 1840 and 1845 Aleksandra was raised in Liutenant Johan Joachim von Bartram's and his wife Margareta Swartz's home in Sitka. She is most likely Alaska's first Creole woman who became a teacher of her own peirs.^3e

In stark contrast, to the lower and middle ranking males, the Company's Board demanded as of 1829 that all Company chief manager-elects were to be properly married prior to the final confirment of the appointment. The first forsed to comply was the Balt, Baron Ferdinand von Wrangell (Chief Manager / Governor 1830-1835). In 1839 either the Company Board or Chief Manager / Governor ellect, the Finn Arvid Adolph Etholén imposed the same requirement on his Executing Adjoint, the Finn Johan Joachim von Bartram.⁴ By such an action the Company's board hoped to prevent its highest ranking colonially based officials from entering into any personal alliances with local women they demed "unsuitable" to its public image.^4b However, none above reasons exclude the magic of love at first sight, and/or life-long loving attachments.

Note too, that when located, marriages made in the second and third generation are included in the main trees. Known is that some marriage-partners and thus marriages were performed on the Siberian side of the North Pacific. Thus the family names of such marriage partners are not included in this Index.

Note additionally in January 31, 1876 San Francisco's Russian Consul filed documents concerning 125 individuals consisting of men, women, and children, all former Russian subjects who petitioned East Siberia's Governor General for assistance to Vladivostok, Pacific Siberia. The question of their petition was sent on to the Imperial Government in St. Petersburg. However, the government failed them by refusing their petition on the grounds it was too late and too expensive, although such a passage had been rightfully theirs to be had.^4c However, at the time of the transfer of Alaska to the United States, the Company had found it was lacking adequate transport to the Siberian side for all those who had wished for it. Several of the families listed below are found listed in this document, and I have marked so below. Note additionally that I have cross chequed the names below against K-G Olin's published list, as well as those names listed by Katherine Arndt in her unpublished report to Dorothy Breedlove of Sitka Lutheran Church. I have also chequed Richard Pierce's published biographical data.^4d

As Finland's Seaman House registers are nowadays available on Internet, it facilitates somewhat the identification of Finnish seamen. However, as illustrated by Aaron Sjöström's group of about 48 men, mostly Finns, departing Helsinki for Sitka in late 1838. Their parish moving papers indicate only "to St. Petersburg", thus giving no indication the group's destination was Sitka, Russian Alaska. The only reason I have been able to identify some of them is that they are mentioned by name in those letters Sjöström wrote to his older brother, Helsinki building contractor Carl Wilhelm Sjöström, during the journey across Siberia, as well as those written from Sitka. In one of his letters Sjöström also mentions that there was within his group of 48 + men, a yet mostly unidentified smaller group of "Gentlemen Navigators and Book-keepers", of which the German Balt Andreas Hoeppner was one.^4e

Furthermore, complicating the identification of these Finns, is that most seamen did not take out moving papers from their parishes prior to their departures, as so many of them were part of crews on ships going out for 2 or more years. Among these were also those Russian American Company's ships, who sailed the rout Kronstadt-Sitka-Ajan-Sitka-Kronstadt, and thus these seamen always knew they would return to home-port. Others plain forgot to do so, even those who signed the usual 7 years work-contracts with the Russian- American Company and whose homeports then were situated throughout the Company's operating sites spread out all over the Sub-Arctic Pacific region. Furthermore most disembarking crew lists seldom indicate the name of the full number of port-of-calls. Mostly noting only the last port visited. Thus, many of these men just disappear into "thin air." Additionally, complicating matters is that  St. Petersburg's port city, Kronstadt, situated on Kotlin Island, established in December of 1853 a Seaman House specifically geared to serve independent seamen, that is professional seamen of all ranks who all had the power and right as individuals to both negotiate and then sign their own work contracts with ships, skippers, and companies. These men were for the most part from Finland, as most Russians of lower rank were serfs, and thus owned by either the Crown or Russian citizens, or were drafted into inordinately long military service. Specifically indicated is that Kronstadt's Seaman House was established to specially serve the needs of the Russian American Company's ships. Furthermore Kronstadt's seaman House had an Ombudsman attached to it, and this Seaman House was put under Kronstadt's Military Governor's supreme supervision.^4f

After the Crimean War (1853-1865) ended, Finnish Seaman House registers show up an unending numbers of registered members followed by the notation: "moved to Kronstadt" indicating they have moved to Kronstadt's seaman house. It is known that in 1859-1861 Sitka had some 135 hired seamen, most of them Finns. In addition most of its Navigators and all but 2 Skippers were non-Russians Finns and Balts.^4g

As for the master craftsmen and laborers, the Company hired from the Baltic Provinces and the Grand Duchy of Finland, the Company hired most years some 40-50 men who either were sent across Siberia to Okhotsk or Ajan and from there by ship to Sitka, or directly by ship from Kronstadt and Turku to Sitka. This includes as late as 1865^4h and 1866.⁴ⁱ

The identities of these men are for the most part very difficult to determine with true accuracy. However, all below listed Finnish and Baltic names are commonly found in Finland and the Baltic Provinces.

As this Index only covers the years between 1816 and 1866, that is, up to just befor Russian Alaska was transferred to the United States, these particular names listed here below, only pertain to members of the Russian-American Company's labor force. Note too, that prior to formalized Lutheran churchlife (as of August 24, 1840, and cemetery dedication December 6. 1840), Evangelical Lutheran deaths and burials were performed by the local Orthodox priest, and thus recorded by them into their ledgers. This also holds true for all regions beyond Sitka proper. However, Okhotsk and Ajan on the Pacific Siberian side are believed to have had their own small Evangelical Lutheran cemeteries. Note too that among the Finns from the regions of Karelia as well as Ingria there could also be several individuals of the Orthodox faith.

And finally, I would like to remind the reader that those Finns and Balts who married into Alaska's Orthodox population, does only represent a small fraction of those Finns and Balts in the service of the Russian American Company's North Pacific domains.

Moving record: at age 15, moved south to the neighboring Janakkala parish on November 26, 1840. Returned to his home parish on July 26, 1841. Then on August 31, 1841 he took out moving papers with the stated destination "to St. Petersburg".

HYÖRÄ, Samuel Mathiasson. (Samuil) Arndt: Samuel' Kheres, also spelled Khieras) [Finlander. "Journeyman Brewer". Born August 21, 1822 in Rantasalmi parish, Reponmäki village. The illegitimate son of Crofter Matts / Mathias Hyörä and mother: Caisa Asikainen, whom widowed Crofter Mathias Hyörä (the father of three children from his first marriage), married in Rantasalmi on November 16, 1823. In this marriage two additional daughters were born, Birgitta Catharina 1825, and Lovisa 1831. Mathias died May 10, 1836 of Dropsy at age 60. Samuel Mathiasson's death date and place in Russian America is still unknown to me, as well as if he applied for, and then obtained Colonial Citizenship.^13d1 Rantasalmi parish out-moving record for January 1839: "The lodger's son Samuel Mathiasson Hyörä, one person, to St. Petersburg with moving record #631.^13d2 St. Petersburg's St. Maria Finnish language Evangelical Lutheran parish registered Samuel Mathiasson Hyörä into its ledgers as of May 25, 1840, under "Brewers." The parish communion books indicate he was employed as a brewer apprentice at Mathias Johansson's brewery situated in the suburb of Gatshina. Into the same communion record is also made the notation he moved out of St. Maria parish in June of 1850, indicating his destination was to "Sitka".^13d3 Departing with Samuel Mathiasson Hyörä was Nils Stephansson TERVOIN / TERVAIN (modern version: Tervonen / Tervanen) [with St. Maria parish moving papers #73, dated June 20, 1850.] Arndt: Nicolai Tervonen, same as Nil's Tervonen? [Finlander. Journeyman Shoemaker / Cobbler, born April 20, 1820 in Kerimäki parish Kulenois village. Father: widowed crofter Stephan / Staffan Grelsson Tervoin from Kulenois village, born April 4, 1775, married October 7, 1806 (in the second of his three marriages) crofter servant Eva Johansdotter Silvennoin from Niinimäki village in Kerimäki parish, born there about 1785. Eight children were born within this marriage of at least 12 children born within his three marriages, of which Nils was the sixth, and the second son of five sons. Son Nils was confirmed in 1836, and then in 1840 he moved to St. Petersburg where he was registered into St. Maria parish on January 21, 1841 as a Journeyman Shoemaker. The communion record indicates he was married but had no children.^13d4 With a reference to Tervoin's profession: Arndt: Communication from the Main Office to (Governor) Teben'kov (here partially quoted) for June 21, 1848: The contract with tailor Brandes, is based on the terms Teben'kov proposed in his #328, May 9, 1846 communication. For all the advantages of the term, the Main Office could scarcely convince this one master to go to the colonies. (see Branders) (However) not a single good boot-maker had agreed to be employed there.^13d5 If and when Nils Sephansson Tervoin returned to St. Petersburg, and/or Finland is yet unknown to me, as well as when and where he died. Arndt: July 13, 1850, cover letter forwarding two certificates issued by Finnish pastor of Mariinski parish (St. Maria Finnish Evangelical Lutheran paris) in St. Petersburg, Carl (Wilhelm) Sirén. They are for two natives of Finland who are in the Colonies, Nil's Tervonen (Tervanen) and Samuel' Khieras (Samuel Kieras).^13e From above communication and below marriage date, one might infer that in reality Hyörä and Tervain had departed for Sitka somewhat earlier that June of 1850, perhaps even considerably so, and then without obtaining required parish moving papers. The referred to St. Maria parish head pastor Karl Siren identifies him as the Jämsä parish born pastor Carl Wilhelm Sirén (1795-1866) who served as such up to his death at St. Maria parish. As the parish membership was huge, he wielded much influence as well as political power as the leader, upholder and preserver of the homeland's language and cultural traditions among St. Petersburg's Finnish language population.^13d6 Arndt: communication of July 20, 1856: in consequence of petition submitted by widow Birgitta Il'vonen (Ilmonen) the Main Office asks (Governor) Voevodskii to obtain written responses from Il'vonen's (Ilmonen's) brother, Samuil Khieras, a Finlander, serving in the Colonies. He is to be asked if he can assign the petitioner financial aid out of his salary.^13f Samuel Mathiasson Hyörä's sister, Birgitta Catharina (Brita Kaisa) Hyörä, had moved to St. Petersburg three years after her brother. Initially, upon arrival on January 21, 1843, she had been registered into St. Maria parish under the heading "Unmarried Females." Then in 1845, on February 10, she had married Bookbinding Apprentice Carl Mattson Ilmoin, born in Rantasalmi parish on January 4, 1824. He had registered into St. Maria parish on February 25, 1840. In the early 1850s.Carl Mattsson Ilmoin died, leaving Birgitta Catharina a widow, and seemingly without means to sustain herself.]^13d7

June 9, 1851: Elias Stephansson PULLINEN, Bronze-worker, departing for Sitka,
and September 26, 1851: Gustaf Adamsson NYBERG, Silversmith, departing for Sitka.
July 19, 1852: Paul Johansson KALJUNEN, Laborer, back from Novo Arkhangelsk,
July 23, 1852: Johan Jacobsson PASTINEN, Bronze-worker, departing for America,
and December 26, 1852: Henric ÅBERG, back from New Arkhangelsk
April 16, 1853: Gabriel Thomasson KETTUNEN, back from Sitka,
and June 2, 1853: Fredrik Carlsson HASTELL, back from Sitka.
September 24, 1854: Karl BJÖRKLUND, back from Sitka.
November 2, 1857 are the following back from Novo Arkhangel, after their 7-year contracts had been completed:
Samuel Mathiasson HYÖRÄ,
Elias Stephanson PULLINEN, Bronze-worker, and
Hans JULKU.
And, in 1858 on March 19 and 20, are the following back from Sitka:
Abel Adamsson PLATHAN, and
Mickel Herman Mickelsson HÄMÄLÄINEN.
And in 1858, departing from St. Maria parish between August 16 and 20, were:
Samuel, Mattsson HYÖRÄ, Brewer Apprentice, for America,
Johan Fredrik WIGER, Laborer, for America, (see Wiger)
and the two Bronze-working brothers:
Elias Stepahansson PULLINEN, and
Joachim Stephansson PULLINEN, both departing for "for America".

As we know from above that Samuel Mathiasson Hyörä begot another child in Sitka, we can infer that all above men with their travel designations "to America" were on their way to Sitka. Above also indicates that all these men knew each other well from way before 1858. Indicated also is that above men were in 1858 traveling together to Sitka. Most likely it was by Company ship from Kronstadt. Among these particular men, only Wiger and Hyörä are known to have formed families within the Russian Sub-Arctic Pacific Colonies. With the exception of Wiger, all of them were from Eastern Finland. What above also indicates is that Samuel Hyörä had by the end of 1856 completed his initial 7-year contract with the RAC, or, that he completed it by working his way back onboard one of the Company ship's, thus competing it upon arrival to Kronstadt. Now released, he then paid, with or without his wife and two children, a visit to his home-parish. That is, during the time-slot between his daughter Mariia's 1855 birth, and his son, Nikolai's1859 birth.

Note that several of above listed men have also been recorded by Arndt, such as Andres Nyuberg, Genric Okerberg, Gavrila Kettunen, Fridrikh. Khastel', Karl Byrklund, Samuel Kheres, Abel Platan, Mikhel Khemeliain, Fridrikh Viger,

Note too, that this is but a fraction of all those men recorded as moving to and from Sitka recorded into St. Maria's parish's moving-in and moving-out books.

KNAGG, Jacob Johan (Iakov). Arndt: Iakov Knage. [Finlander from Fagervik, Inkoo, District of Nyland, Finland. Colonial citizen as of January 1, 1848.¹⁶] Born July 25, 1796 at Fagervik, Finland. Moved to Ninilchik at Kenai in 1847.^16a Died June 1, 1851 in Ninilchik at Kenai.^16b Departed for Reval (Tallinn) in 1815. As Fagervik Ironworks exported much of what it produced to clients in Tallinn, Viipuri, Hamina, and other places, its labor force included seamen and skippers as well as ships. Thus Fagervik's labor force was constantly faced , as well as in contact with a much larger view of the world. And, as most moving records only give the initial destination I do believe Jacob Johan Knagg journeyed to Tallinn (Reval) on just such a Fagervik cargo hauling ship, with its first destination to Tallinn. From Tallinn the ship most likely sailed to its next port of delivery, that is Viipuri, where Knagg got off and joined that city's Seaman House. Thus he got the distinction of being identified as a "Wiborg Mariner". Sometimes thereafter his next step might have been to move to Kronstadt, where he was hired to serve as part of the crew on one of the Russian-American Company ships, reaching Sitka.^16c Helen J. Knagg Simeonoff: initially Jacob Johan Knagg served as a boatswain on the local RAC ships. Then in referring to D.W. Clark, and Arndt: RAC records she mentions that he was in 1842 listed as a cowherd and his wife Elena as a dairymaid. Now quoting from records in Finland: in the summer of 1841, Governor Arvid Adolph Etholén made an inspection trip to among other places the Kodiak region. He did so onbord the Finnish-built RAC ship Nadslednik Alexandr under the Finnish, Viipuri born Russian Marine Lieutenant, Johan Joachim von Bartram's command. Onboard was also the Company's Evangelical Lutheran pastor, Uno Cygnaeus. In a letter home Cygnaeus tells his purpose was to visit and then register all Lutherans in all the regions the ship touched upon. He was to perform all the duties of a Lutheran pastor: marry, baptize, bless burial sites, etc. as well as offer communions and give church services to those Lutherans he encountered. From Kodiak he made a trip to another bay where he met a Finn, the caretaker of the Company's diary cattle barn, and its cattle herd. Cygnaeus describes the establishment as stepping into the premises of one at home in Finland. In glowing terms he tells how superbly it-all was kept. Like in Finland, it was spotlessly clean, and every utensel was given its very own designated place hanging from a peg or placed on a shelve on the wall. The couple was delightfully friendly and had the most adorable baby.^16d If the Arndt / Clark quotings are historically accurate, then they refer to the Finlander Jacob Johan Knagg and his wife Elena, and presumably to their year old daughter Matrena. Upon hearing of his father's death Jacob Johan Knagg expressed a wish to return to Finland, (for a visit or permanently is yet unknown) However the Russian American Company chief manager talked him out of this, and thus he staid in the Colonies.^16d1 This indicates that by then, Knagg had completed his first 7-year work-contract with the Company, as well as perhaps his second one. It also coincided with the timing of the following: Arndt: Main Office communication to (Governor) Tebenk'ov dated March 15,1848.. Reply to Tebenkov's communication dated May 12, 1847, issue: Tebenk'ov submitted requests for colonial citizenship from Iakov Knagge and Ivan Prokof'ev. They were transmitted to the Abo civil governor and the Pskov Fiscal Chamber, as appropriate. The Niuland governor replied that orders have been issued to exclude worker Iakov Knagge from the local rolls to become a colonial citizen. A response has not yet been received from the Pskov Fiscal Chamber. Orders Tebenk'ov to record Knagge as a Colonial Citizen effective January 1, 1848. The enclosure holds the names of 15 men who have obtained Colonial Citizenship. Among them "Matvei Riuppe, worker, of Vyborg gubernia town of Vyborg, Kurvem village and Iogan (Iakov) Knage, Niuland gubernia Ingoskii parish Skagervik factory." Then just about a year before Jacob Johan Knagg's untimely death in the newly established retirement village of Ninilchik at Kenai, the Main Office sent Governor Tebenkov a communication, dated March 23, 1850, which at this time included the names of 21 Colonial Citizens. Listed are Matvei Matti Riuppe from Wiipuri, Iogan (Iakov) Knagge / Jacob Johan Knagg from Fagervik parish, Iogan Kel'gren / Johannes Kellgren from Porvoo parish, and Efrem Gongo / Efraim Jacobsson Honka, from Marttila parish.^16d2 Thus, Jacob Johan Knagg never managed to finish there the home he was building for him and his family. Soon thereafter his struggling family was moved to Kodiak where they would enjoy the support of close relatives. However, how ever much effort has been put into locating Jacob Johan Knagg's forgotten burial site at the site of Ninilchik, the actual site still eludes the searcher. Father: Emmanuel Knagg, master furnaceman assistant at Fagervik iron works, later master distiller at Fagervik distillery. Born October 21, 1770 at Fagervik, died June 27, 1847 at Fagervik. Son of Johan Niclas Knagg, born 1738 in Germany. Came to Finland 1745. Died at Fagervik, March 27, 1818, and his wife Anna Kristina Jacobsdotter Holstein, born 1739. Mother: Maria Västerberg, born 1766 in Karis, died January 4, 1814 at Fagervik.

He was to be the third of four boys among the seven children to be born in Heinola to this family of already numerous children. Heinola parish moving records: in 1822 daughter Fredrica returned from St. Petersburg. She might be the one to set the family's moving pattern to St. Petersburg. However, son Emmanuel, born at Artjärvi, July 18, 1811, returne to Heinola in 1826. Then in 1830 he moved to Helsinki, and in 1833 to Uusikaupunki, and from there in 1836 to Mikkeli. Obviously he initially did so as an apprentice, then as a journeyman, to finally earn his Master's title. Thus Mikkeli parish communion books recorded him as Building Contractor Emmanuel Nygrén married to Magdalena Serafina Pavolin, born 1818, and their three children born in Mikkeli: 1841, Edvard Emanuel; 1842, Axel Alfred; 1845, Lovisa Leontina, as well as Emmanuel's death year being 1848 (see Arndt below, for the reason for above explanation, as well as the following one).^22h Claes Jacob's older half sister, Vendla Sofia, born in Loviisa city, October 21, 1807, to Jacob Nygrén and his wife Maya Greta Berndtsdotter Damm, age 33, moved to St. Petersburg in April of 1825, when she married Master Cabinetmaker Eric Fagerström, who died there in 1831. Both were registered members of the city's Swedish-language St. Katarina Evangelical Lutheran parish. In 1831 she returned for her mother's funeral. Returning once more in1833, she took her half-brother, Alexander Petter, age 11, still a minor, and thus not yet confirmed, to St. Petersburg.²²ⁱ In July of 1833, that is, at age 16, which was shortly after he had been Confirmed, Watchmaker Apprentice Claes Jacob Nygrén moved fom Heinola to St. Petersburg.^22j] While in St. Petersburg, it is but a stone's throw to the city's bustling port, Kronstadt city, situated on Kotlin Island, where all the big Russian-American Company ships came to dock in the harbor reserved for Merchant ships.] Arndt: Main Office to (Governor) Rozenberg April 18, 1852. Included with Governor Rozenberg's communication to the main Office in St. Petersburg, dated May 24, 1851 Rozenberg forwarded a petition from Iakov Niugren, a native of Finland from Mikheli district. Niugren should be informed that, according to the Assistant Governor General, to whom the petition was forwarded, he has already received the inheritance his late father left him in 1837. No inheritance is due him from his brothers, Emmanuel and Petr Niugren. According to a letter from the St. Mikhel' governor to the Assistant Finnish Governor General, (brother) Emmanuel left a wife and three children and (brother Alexander Petter) Petr died in Russia in extreme poverty.^22k

PETELIN / PETLIN
The Petelin name is not an original Russian name. Some years ago I pulled up more than twenty individuals under the"Petelin" name in the FHL computer files for Austria. Additionally, in the Nordic countries, including Sweden and Finland, the name is found in multiple variations. I recently pulled up seven individuals with the name Petlin in the HisKi database. The earliest one was a birth record dated 1765. Some individuals bearing the name Petelin / Petlin might have been among the captured Swedish soldiers sent to Siberia as sprisoners of the Great Northern War (1700-1721), and the later one (1740-1743). This includes Irkutsk where these prisoners build their Evangelical Lutheran church building, one of the many Lutheran churches these prisoners built throughout Siberia at the sites they were sent to. After being released many of the prisoners returned to their home country. But many stayed in Siberia. Some did so because they had married and built families, and thus their offspring were, according to prevailing church-law, born into the Orthodox community. Others, again, because they had successfully integrated into Irkutsk's bustling Lutheran, and Science community. Thus it is possible, even likely, that the roots to Alaska's first Petelin is to be found in these Swedish prison communities throughout Siberia, or among the personel of Imperial Russia's high-ranking Baltic German or Finnish military official's, serving stints in Siberia.
However, pertaining to Petelin / Petlins found in these particular records, unfortunately I can not guarantee that all of the Petelin offsprings listed below have been correctly matched to their parents. Originally registered Petelin seem to have been Rufus, Johann or Simeon. This individual might have been one of the first Finns to came to Russian Alaska. Note that the listing of Simeon's children seems incomplete.

The Petelin family provided many of Alaska's Russian Orthodox Churches with priests:
1841: Iliia Petelin served at Nushagak's Church of Saints Peter and Paul.
1845: Iliia Petelin served at one of Kodiak's Chapels.
1860: Ioann Petelin served at St. Michel's in Sitka.
1905: Alexandr I. Petelin served at Afognak's Church of the Holy Nativity of the Virgin.
1905: Alexandr I. Petelin served at St. Michael's in Sitka.

In 1845 the Company made an exception allowing Stefanida to accompany the von Bartrams back to Finland, as their foster daughter. In his letters to Finland pastor Uno Cygnaeus mentions Stefanida's arrival into the von Bartram's household as well as her departure to Finland. So does her foster sister Mariia Alekseev in a letter to the von Bartram's in Finland.

RÉHN, Otto Reinhold. Olin p 21. [Swedish speaking Finlander. Born February 4, 1832 in Ekenäs parish. The third of seven children. Father: Cabinet maker Anders Gustaf Réhn, born July 26, 1803 in Tenala parish. Mother: Gustafa Helena Holmberg, born July 30, 1806 in Espoo parish.²⁴ Hired by the Russian American Company to replace Aaron Sjöström who wished to return to Finland with his family. Reached Sitka in the summer of 1853. Served then from September 1853 to April 14, 1865 as the Russian American Company's Evangelical Lutheran parish's sexton and organist. On April 14 in 1865, Sitka's last Evangelical Lutheran pastor, the Finlander Georg Gustaf Winter, departed Sitka for the homeland. As no replacement came forth, it clearly indicates that it by then was well known that Russian Alaska was up for sale.^24b Thereafter, it is believed, that Otto Reinhold Réhn and his Finnish colleague, the former Lutheran parish sexton/organist, Aaron Sjöström, shared the responsibility of holding lay services at the church, as well as performed necessary burials etc. up to the final departures at the end of 1867-1868. Requested and received birth certificates from the Russian Orthodox Church in 1867. Moved with wife and children to the Siberian side. First to Nikolajefsk on the Amur, then under RAC's former Governor/Chief Manager, Johan Hampus Furuhjelm's Military Governor-ship. He might have hoped to serve here as the Sexton/Organist at the Evangelical Lutheran parish established in Nikolajefst in the fall of 1866.^24c At the end of 1870, concurring with Military Governor Furuhjelm's departure from Nikolajefsk on the Amur, the Réhn family moved to Vladivostok. Here Réhn's contemporary compatriots recorded him as a respected and successful merchant with a wide circle of friends of which many were military officers of Finnish and Baltic birth. However, the strain of resettling into a new and demanding environment demanding the courage and know-how in personal entrepreneur-ship, seems to have taken its toll, as he seems to have turned to drink, which ruined the family. This again resulted in Réhn abandoning his wife and children, which pushed them into utter poverty.^24d

RÖNKÖ / RÖNKKÖ, Anders (Andrei). Arndt: Andrei Renke. [Finlander, master lath turner; Born June 20, 1802 in Rääkkylä parish, Niemi village, Eastern Finland, died of pneumonia January 31, 1856 in Sitka, buried February 4, 1856 into Sitka's Russian Era Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery.²⁶ RAC colonial citizen. Home language was Finnish. He was the oldest child as well as the oldest son of at least 9 children born within his father's two marriages. Father: Farm croft share-cropper Anders Rönkö (junior), born on September 13, 1777 in Finnish Karelia, Kitee parish, Niemi village. He was recorded into the church-books as an out-of-wedlock son born to farm-hand Anders Rönkö (senior) and the farm-house maid Maria Soinin, whom he soon thereafter married. In Rääkkylä parish, their son, Anders (junior) married January 10, 1802, (in the first of his two gun shot weddings), mother: farm servant, Carin Tålfvain born 1778 in Niemis village. Their first three children, Anders, Maria, and Christina were born there. In May of 1808 the family moved just north to Hammaslahti village in Kiihtelysvaara parish, where they got registered on September 4, 1808. Here the family's next three children, Anna, Carin, and Henric were born, and their oldest son, Anders, was confirmed. Here too his mother died prior to 1824, as his father married on February 2, 1824, the farm-house maid, Anna Stina Bohm, from Kiihtelysvaara parish, Niva village. Their three daughters, Anna Catharina, Christina and Anna Caisa, were born here.^26a At what time, and where Anders Rönkö was recruited into Russian-American Company service is yet unknown to me. But it must have taken place several years prior to 1842 when he married.] Arndt: communication from the Main Office to (Governor) Tebenkov: June 21, 1848: Joiner Renke left the colonies via Siberia in the spring of 1847, and communication of March 23, 1850: employees hired, and dispatshed to the colonies via Siberia includes Finlander Andere Renke. Communication of July 13, 1850 to (Governor) Rozenberg: On accepting Andrei Renke, a native of Finland, back into colonial service and dispatching him there with his wife and young son, the Main Office sent his old passport to the Finnish Passport Office to exchange it for a new one with his wife and son entered in to it. The passport office says it cannot do this until it receives a marriage certificate and a birth certificate for Renke's son. Asks Rozenberg to inform Renke and to send the documents if Renke has them. Othervise, Renke should indicate where those documents are.^26b This would indicate that Anders Rönkö had by 1847 completed his seven-year contract with the Company. This again suggest he might have been a member of the Sjöström, Blomqvist, Haeppner, Sundström party of 48 men, whom the Company in December of 1838, dispatched from St. Petersburg to Sitka via Siberia and the port of Okhotsk. What is truly remarkable is that Anders Rönkö made this over-land journey thrice, of which his wife Anna partook in the latter one, familiarizing herself with her husbands region of birth, situated in Central Finland's Eastern-most North Karelian lake filled regions.
Married (p 261,413, 579) widow Anna Kadnikov SOLOMININ May 17, 1842 in Sitka. Previously married on Atka, July 1, 1830 to Ignatii Solominin, who died in Sitka December 5, 1840. Anna Kadnikov Solominin Rönkö married third Bror Carl RAMSELL (see under Ramsell).

Conclusion

The discovery of above men's birthplaces now obliterate the previously held notions that most Finlanders in Russian-American Company service came from the Swedish-speaking Turku region. Not so, in fact they came from most all of Finland’s coastal regions as well as from the depth of Finland’s interior, including Finland’s Eastern-most North Karelia. And, they seem to have quite equally represented the country's bilingual diversity.

Surprising too, is how many of the above dates of arrivals preceed the Company's Lutheran community's formalization in May of 1840. For instance, note that Theodor Laurén (Laulin) was there to marry as early as in 1818. This is a mere nine years after Finland fell under Russian rule. However, if he originated in Old Finland, Ingria or the Baltic Provinces (Estonia and Latvia), then those regions had already been under Russian rule (oppression) for some additional ninety odd years. That is, since the Great Northern War.

Additionally, when above list of individuals is added to my previously published list of births recorded into the Russian-American Company's Sitka based Evangelical Lutheran Church's birth and baptism records,³¹ it proves that Sitka, as well as other sites, literally crawled with the offspring of Finns and Balts, some married to Europeans others to local Creoles, many of which had a Finnish or Baltic father, or grandfather, others again to native ones. The question is: did the offspring of these Finns acquire their father's citizenship, if so, then all of them were legally Finns. Additionally, if the Governor to be, (1859-1864) the Finn, Johan Hampus Furuhjelm, wrote the factual truth, such as follows quoted from a letter addressed to his father, written during his first round of Company service (1851-1855): "... I can not avoid telling Father of a commonly held concept of morality here, which is supported by all the priests here. On the one hand every unmarried female here is by every awailable mean prevented from taisting the forbidden fruit. On the other hand, this is totally disregarded as far as married women are conserned. Thus, it is hardly unusual here for a married man, who, upon request, an offer, and an agreed-upon compensation, will permit an officer-client to enjoy his wife's pleasures. Something only a true boor would permit himself to do. Therefor, as there are no illegitimate children born here in Sitka, everyone thinks this to be a place of high morality."³² - then we might gather that there were withing the region of the North Pacific Russian Colonies, an additional untold number of children born with genetic ties to Finland and the Baltic States. This above mentioned category of "Officers" included also all single men holding the required rank allowing them to take their midday meals at the Governor's table, which included naval officers, medical doctors, sea captains, and scientists, as well as the Company's Evangelical Lutheran pastors. And, furthermore, it is well known that the Company's first Evangelical Lutheran pastor, the Finn Uno Cygnaeus was throughout life an ardent womanizer. In fact, prior to his 1839 departure for Russian America, he is on record having fathered an illegitimate son.³³ Thus, Furuhjelm's above quoted statement does in fact offer the possibility, that these categories of high ranking Finnish, Baltic and Russian men, might have fathered any and many of the children born within the Russian-American Company's Colonial domanes.

Furthermore, Artist /Genealogical researcher, Helen J. Knagg Simeonoff, points to the fact, that most of the descendents of above Finlanders have multiplied into huge inter-married family clans. Nowadays, they are not only living at sites all over the State of Alaska, but are also found living at multiple sites on the American West Coast, as well as at sites across the entire lower 48.

In conclusion, the above listing supports the Michigan-based Finnish-American Pastor, Salomon Ilmonen's published claim, that he, upon a visit to Sitka, made just before the turn of the century, encountered some five-hundred individuals who readily recognized their own Russian Era Finnish heritage.³⁴ Oh, how true is the saying: "it takes but one male to create a whole village."

Note: In 1861 Lindholm had emigrated to Pacific Siberia's Amur region. Thus this document also indicates that the Bollmann family members knew Lindholm well. By 1880 Lindholm had became both a political as well as economic power-figure in Vladivostok, Pacific Siberia, as well as in San Francisco, California. There excist some hints that he also owned a houme in San Francisco. There are also strong indications that Lindholm's wealth far superseded that of his San Francisco based compatriot's, Gustaf Ferdinand Nybom's known in California as Gustaf Niebaum.
