Daniel b.9 Aug 1860 at the Rysä farm in Huruksela, Kymi.
Son of Henrik HENRIKSON and Anna Maria SYLVESTERSDOTTER
Hi Velcro...
A very kind soul has gifted me a subscription to the Finnish Family History Association. It was either that or a new bicycle helmet.
I've been able to check the birthdate of the Daniel HEIKINSSON who moved to Anjala by finding him in the 1880-1889 Anjala Household Register. His birthdate is 9 Aug 1860. The Household Register says he came from the Rysä farm in Kymi in 1881 and that he moved to Strömfors in November 1882.
I know you already had the Anjala/Strömfors info but I've not been able to see the actual records with my own eyes until now.
So as far as I'm concerned this Daniel is
definitely the son of Henrik HENRIKSON and Anna Maria SYLVESTERSDOTTER and he was born 9 Aug 1860 at the Rysä farm in Huruksela, Kymi.
And as this Daniel is still in Finland in 1882 he is also
definitely not your Daniel. As you know according to his naturalisation papers your Daniel, the son of Aaron HENRIKSON, left Finland in 1877, sailed the seven seas for six years, then ended up in Australia in 1883.
The alternative is that your Daniel was lying on his naturalisation application and he actually left Anjala in 1882 and sailed straight to Australia. But if you start doubting his naturalisation application then you may as well give up. If he lied about his movements he may have lied about his name, date of birth, country of origin etc etc...that way lies madness :-)

There are quite a few records available on the FFHA members database. I'm browsing them as and when. If anything interesting pops up I'll let you know.
