The Sippo family in Australia began in 1881 with the immigration of Simo Sippo from Finland. Most of the information about Simo was lost, including his country of origin, and it's only in the last few years that I've been able to unravel the story with help from various people on the Internet, and others in Finland. These pages summarise the story.
The link "Sippo family in Australia" leads to an article about Simo's life in Australia, and his descendents.
The link "My visit to Finland" gives a very brief summary of my five weeks in Finland in 2002, when I set out to re-link the Australian family with its roots.
The link "The Family Tree" goes to a family tree tracing Simo's family back to 1693, together with his descendants and information on other family lines. For reasons of privacy, living persons born later than 1915 have only their names included; other details are witheld.
