Hello! My mother is Barbara who is Tjodina’s daughter. She is 81 and lives in Pennsylvania. Her brother Francis died many years ago. Barbara had six children: Lana, Marian, myself, Alan, and twins April and Grace. I was also a teacher and school administrator but have recently retired. Please reach out, as needed! Smiles to you & the rest of our extended family!

Hi Nancy! If you want to message trough Whatsapp, here is my phonenumber: +358 503734491. I´m a teacher in elementary school. My pupils are on the fourth grade (thety are 10 years old).I also teach music, P.E., history and arts to other pupils. My husband Teijo Päkkilä is a headmaster in the Seinajoki Highschool.
Sofia, my daughter is 32 years old and also a teacher. Alexander, my son is 30 and works as an animator. Our youngest son Anton has just graduated from highschool. He is interested in physics. Next summer he is going to army.
Maija-Liisa, my mother who is Barbara´s cousin, is a retired teacher.
So, I´m your second cousin!!! That´s amazing.
I can send you some photos of us and our home, if you like. I have photos of my mother as a child and pictures of Helvi (my grandmother) who is Tjodinas´s half-sister.
i like gardening, outdoor living, literature, arts and traveling. We also have three standard poodles that are nice to go out with. Seinäjoki lies in the western side of Finland, 370 kilometres from our capital city Helsinki. Seinäjoki is a quite small town with 30 000 inhabitants. Climate is moderate. This winter we have had very little snow.
Our family has visited U.S.A several times for example New York, Kalifornia, Arizona and Utah.
Best wishes, Sari

Hi! How are you? Summer is coming to Finland slowly. Blue lilies and white anemones are blooming.The birch buds are opening. The birch blossoms make the whole family sneeze. Last week I had my 60th birthday. Our family had a little party in the forest by the campfire. Next weekend me and my youngest dog are participating in a dogshow. My dog just needs one certifikation and then he will be a champion. Best wishes,
Sari
