My great grandfather's name is Robert Nestor Lehto. His birth name is Robert Nestor Osterlund (or Osterlunde). He came to America from Pori, Finland somewhere between 1900 and 1905. I've been thinking he came in thru Canada as the family lived in Michigan till around 1920. He came with his mother Anna and his brother. Now the really confusing thing is that his brother changed his surname to Alve. I believe his name was Rupert. Robert was born in 1888 according to the few documents I've been able to find. The earliest record of him I've found is his WWI draft card.

Caren - give us a date (approximate year of immigration) and your ancestor's name. Someone in the group may be able to help you

Those are some nice steps. My only issue is I have been trying to find out what ship my great grandfather came on but he's not listed anywhere. :/
