The Ollila Hummer Tree
Thanks to Lil and Kari T., the Ollila Hummer tree is almost complete. It
includes full names, dates and birthplaces where known. Unless you wish, it will not be posted here, but if family branches
need a copy, please write and we would be most happy to send you one. If you have additions and corrections, we hope you will
keep us posted.
The John Ollila family has created a very beautiful tree of our related Ollila branches and we are
looking forward to sharing stories with them.
February 16, 2002
We received a wonderful note and gift from John Ollila,
grandson of Juho Ollila who was Grandpa Karl's closest brother. Juho Ollila married Maria Jussila. (Kari
tells us that Maria Jussila was not related to our Grandmother Elizabeth Jussila Ollila, wife of Grandpa Karl. Instead,
both ladies came from Isokyrö.
So the name, Jussila, is a place name for Jussi, and
Jussi is another name for Johan, Juho or Juha, all Finnish names for John.
John and Maria Ollila had 11 children. They are the Fairport
Harbor Ollilas. Grandson John Ollila is instrumental in the preservation of Finnish Fairport
history.
For our archives, John sent a wonderful book from the Fairport
Harbor Historical Society: A History of Fairport Harbor Ohio 1976,
along with postcards and an article about Great Lakes Shipping.
Thank you so much, John.
