Family Interest in Music Traced back to Finn Immigrants My Grammy Grover's family immigrated from Finland to Monesson, PA in the last part of the 19th century. Monesson was home to a fair sized Finnish community and offered jobs in the Western Pennsylvania steel mills. One day I googled the name "Knuuttila", which was Grammy's maiden named and hit a link for the Louhi Band. What I learned, was that the Louhi Band was a world famous Wind Band that was compromised first of Finns and later others during the heyday of the Wind Band. The Louhi Band toured world-wide, including Finland and even performed for Sebelius. My great-uncle Jacob (Jale) Knuuttila is shown in the photo above seated in the front on the left. Both he and my great uncle Johan (John) were memebers of the band.
