Nikkila, Nikkilä, Nickila

I am helping my husband's cousin in Simo, Finland find as many descendents of the Nikkilä Emigrants from Simo, Finland to America for a book.

I have a Sampila/Nikkila Family tree at www.ancestry.com . All of the living descendents information is not viewable by the public. Contact me, if you think you may be connected to these family lines.

I have some families I'm not sure of as to where they fit in...some are living in Minnesota.
John Wayne Nickila; Wallace Nickila are two of the links I don't know about.

Here is part of a list from Riitta in Kemi, Finland. She is the lady I'm helping on this project.

Ou, yes. Kalle (Charles) emigrated in 1880. He was Lauri "Lar´s" son and born
21.4.1861 as you tell me. Huraa! You found him.
We have left still many
Juho Jaakko b.26.7.1850
Kaisa Maria b.9.10.1852
Anna Kreeta b.19.6.1858
Hilda Eufrosyne b.20.2.1864
Brita Liisa b.14.1.1848, who was married there with Daniel (Taneli) Sankala b.16.6.1853. Brita Liisa had a son Kalle Artturi b.23.10.1872, who was blind. Her father wasn´t Daniel.
Matti Aukusti b.2.7.1854 married here 1.6.1879 with Kaisa Kreeta Kehusmaa/Hamari b.5.2.1855 Regards Riitta

Lauri Nikkila emigrated with his family and apparently died in Cromwell, Carlton Co., Minnesota in either 1903 or 1905. The above names are his children. His wife was Anna and b. 1822 in Ii, Finland and I don't know when she died in America.

Help on finding everyone we can would be appreciated.
