Kansanen Family Reunion, July 29th, 2023

KANSANEN FAMILY REUNION, JULY 29th, 2023, KUOPIO!

After the pandemic break, we will gather among relatives for a family reunion on Saturday 29th of July, 2023 in Saana, Kuopio (https://www.kuopionsaana.fi/). This family meeting has an interesting program again (as always), but this time it's very special. We have gotten one of perhaps Finland's most prominent genealogists to start with Genealogy - and what's most interesting - specifically the genealogy of Kansanen Family.

Genealogist Ari Kolehmainen (pictured) has been doing genealogical research from one side to the other for twenty years. He has a degree in Finnish history (FM) and ten years of work experience in archives. At the beginning of 2018, Kolehmainen founded a company offering genealogical and historical research services (https://www.menneenjaljet.fi/), which offers professional and customer-oriented research for various needs.

The Kansanen Family is a client of Kolehmainen - and we have given him the assignment to find out Johan Kansanen's previous steps before Johan's arrival in Sortavala. Kolehmainen will now tell our family reuinon about this research - guaranteed to be interesting!

LAKE CRUISE:

You can also hop aboard the M/S QUEEN R from the Saana pier in Bellanranta at 4:30 p.m., but this must be announced in advance - those who have booked a cruise on the Queen will be responsible for the stopover request themselves!
