Thank you so much. I have received a lot of information from his time in Mississipp. I know he came here from Finland and I have found ship records from 1921. I know he was orphaned in Finland and Evert and Johan Enroth (his brothers) were already in Mississippi when Urpo turned 18 he came to America to be with them but no one seems to know his mother and fathers name. He was taken in by a lady in Finland and she sent him to school and gave him a good home but I can't do my family tree without finding his parent. I have tried everything I know for a year. All information is greatly appreciate.

I was just following up to see if anyone has found any information as to where he came into the United States at. Everything I check I will go to the number and that one will be missing. I have checked in Finland but not knowing if this is his real last name it is not much there. There are some Federal records where in the early 1900 a lot of people were given the last name Enroth. Thank you in advance for any help.

Yes I have the information from when he (Urpo) and Evert came to Mississippi but I can not find his parents name or brother and sisters still in Finland.
Thank you for your help

I found he came over on the Mauitania in April 1921 passenger #100159060229
T715 M237 but I can't find it and I know the passport 1486 M261
RG 85 roll 2946 volume 6742
i looked in Finland for passport information for his real name and the NARA for the other information but can not find it. Hope this helps. My father Billy Ray Enroth was the first generaction born in America.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I looked at that but I did not see children Urpo Enroth. I have no idea why but I have had help and can not find anything giving me his parents names. I have all the information from Mississippi and Evert Enroth and Johan Enroth changed his last name to Wendell and he moved to Texas but I can't get no where on a family tree without his parents name and I do know his mother passed away not long after he was born.
Thank you for your help

Your welcome and Johan changed his last name to Sandell (not Wendell) that was a typ. Yes it makes it very hard. I know he was born in Uusikaupunki or Nystad it's the same place. I have searched for a year. I found on Evert August Enroth obit he had a sister Hilma and on Johan Sandell he had a brother Urpo. I want to find out who his parents were and they may have their moms last name or dads. I wish I could find where he went to school and maybe find the lady who took him in because his mom passed soon after his birth.
Thank you

Yes I have tried that. I have the records where he come in to Ellis Island in 1921 but I can't find where he got on the ship because it caught fire that year but he did come through Ellis Island 1921. Urpo and Evert Enroth lived in Mississippi until death. I've also see Ehrooth and I've also learned that his last name in Finland may have been something Qvist but when I look you see a family all with different last names may be the farm name may be mothers or fathers I found a form suku.genealogia.fi/archive/index.php with info on Enroth'.
Thanks for your help

I was checking to see if anyone has found anything on my grandfather Urpo Orvokki Enroth. He was born in Uusikaupunki Finland In 1902 and came to America in 1921 to Ellis Island. I'm not sure of his birth last name but a lot of people that came to America from Finland used that name but look back in Finland and they used another name. In Finland until 1920 most people did not have last name but it was required in 1920 Most of the people used father name and added son. Like Matt son would be Mattson. He did get his naturalization papers. He lived in Gulfport Mississippi until his death and his brother Evert Enrot. Please help.

As the National Archives of the U.S. Government, we maintain the records created by the U.S. Government in the course of business. While we do maintain some immigration and naturalization records, it sounds like you have copies of these records. The Federal Government does not ordinarily create or maintain birth, death, marriage or divorce records of U.S. citizens. Such records are made and kept by State and local governments rather than the National Archives. Similarly, information relating to Finnish citizens may be with the National Archives of Finland, or at a local repository in Finland.

I think you should have records where he came over here. He did not come on the Mauritania. I think his name was changed and I think the records that were help in
New Orleans. I know they have released the records but I do no know where to find them
Thank you

1 of 1 people found this helpfulHi Liz!
This is the information I gathered, hope I have the right Urpo:
Urpo Enroth was born in 24. of April 1902 and died Harrison, Missisippi in September 1979.
He came to United States, New York, in 2. of April 1921 on the ship Mauretania. His last place of residence was Nystad, Finland (Uusikaupunki, Suomi). The ship took off from Southampton. The traveling time from Southampton to New York might have taken a couple of weeks (this is just my opinion) plus the traveling time from Finland to Southampton.
I checked out the database of Institute of Migration in Finland and was not able to find Urpo Enroth.
My advice is that you contact the Institute of Migration in Finland and give the information you have to them (birthday, last residence, ship, departure time etc.) and ask for a search. This might cost something, but I see this as an opportunity to find out the lost surname of Urpo Orvokki.
Here's a link
Siirtolaisuusinstituutti - Institute of Migration
If it doesn't work, just search Siirtolaisuusinstituutti on google.
Hope this helps!
