There are two misspellings within the list for LAMPILA on the website.

It is ALEKSANDER not Alsksander
It is Lucina not Lucinda

I have a personal interest.

Best regards.(No Name Signed) {Not a very personal interest :)]

Just wanted to add some information for my father's gravestone.  Alget Sundquist died in 1982.  Also my maternal grandmother, Aino Saari died in 1996.

Thanks,
Kathleen Sundquist Hollenbeck
