I am looking for any documentation or leads about my GGrandfather,

Eino Juntunen b. Jan 21, 1887 in Hyrynsalmi Parish, Suomussalmi Finland d. 1952 in Houghton County, Michigan.

He is said to have sailed on the 'Urania' out of Hanko, Finland on June 3, 1903 to Liverpool, then on June 11, 1903 he sailed the 'Tunisian' out of Liverpool to Quebec arriving June 20, 1903. I don't know if he sailed alone or with family. Eino's parents were,

Kalle Juntunen 1847-1928 and
Elsa Kaisa Heikkinen 1847-1930

They both traveled to Canada and Michigan but died in Finland. Eino's wife was

Wilhelmina Kilponen 1888-1925

I have no marriage date or place for Eino & Wilhelmina, their four children were born in Michigan. Eino had 8 siblings,
