Well, I managed to follow Johannes a little bit from the moving in and out books, to Pedersöre parish. He left Nykarleby on 1 May 1880. Here he is in Pedersöre:

A very faint entry fifth name down - Johannes Karls. Björnvik. I cannot though find him leaving the parish. I went as far as 1887 to make sure, no record. He must have left without reporting to the minister.
So he was definately in Finland around 1880-1881.

I would not be overly concerned with discrepancies in Karori records, there are instances of incorrect information.While helping someone,I noticed an obvious one, a 9month old being a qualified carpenter, and when I advised them they said they would need a death cert to alter it. I ask you. If all matches disregard their website.

Just a couple of records to fill the gaps:


1850 Kommunion Book - Carl: http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=16587281

1857 Kommunion Book - Carl and Karoline: http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=16591149

Thank You Ian, and Beg.

Lots of Information to follow through and look at now :)

So John Carlson (and name variants) must have arrived to New Zealand somewhere between 1882 and 1885? (Dec 1885 he was married in New Zealand).

The next thing I wonder if the records over there show is his job/type of work. Over here he is listed as a Carpenter for some, and Shipwright for his later years. This would be useful, as I would be able to figure out if he was working his way over as a crewman of some sort (crew-carpenter for example), or just travelling as a passenger.

Cheers Stephanie

Just like to add that Greta Karolina was a widow when she married Karl.
