Kristinestad (swedish) - Kristiinankaupunki (finnish) - Christinenstadt (german) in Finnland

the name Carlson/Carlsen is in any case a scandinavian, in fact sounds swedish.
the orgin can not be russian, but maybe once some of family settled there.

Hi Cell

I took a look at this thread: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=760502.msg6116511#msg6116511 and wondered  if you have Charles' parents names. If so I can perhaps take a look to see if I can find him in Finland.
