A note on Finnish surnames. Finns changed their surname every time they moved house. Names became fixed in the 1880s. So the surname your ancestor used on arrival in Australia or America is the name of the last house they lived in. Finnish houses are made of wood and they last for hundreds of years because of the extreme cold. The house name comes from the person who built it 400 years ago e.g. Henry is Heikki in Finnish so the house he built is called Heikkila.
Finnish lutheran church books contain lots of information. They have been photographed and are available free online at the Finnish family history association. You can take out membership for 10 euros but you really need to know Finnish to read old court records etc.
1900–1925
The Great Finnish Migration
Between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th, Finnish migration grew dramatically. People were lured by the tales of emigrants who had already moved abroad. American companies also hired professional agents to recruit Finnish migrants in search of work. Landless workers in seasonal industries like logging and railroad construction sought land and better jobs. Initially starting in western Finland, especially from the Vaasa area, the desure to migrate in search of new opportunities soon spread inland. Between 1893 and 1920, 134,000 Finns left the province of Vaasa alone.
~~~~~THE MYSTERY MAN
Charles George Fest (not his real name, but one chosen by him) said he was born 17th February 1891 at Helsinki, Finland and worked on ships in the Baltic Sea until about 1905 before leaving Finland which was under Russian rule. Finland was a grand duchy of Russia between 1809 and 1917. During that time Finns had Russian passport and the merchant marine flew the Russian flag. Their "nationality" was officially Russian but the ethnicity was Finnish.
He deserted from the ship Lord Curzon (on which he was a crew member) in Port Pirie, South Australia and went underground. Believe he acquired the name of Fest to escape the long arm of the law. Worked as a miner at Broken Hill and then at Goea Mining Co in Mt Morgan, Queensland. Joined the Australian Army in Brisbane 10th August 1915 and was posted at the Enoggera Army Camp but deserted 16 April 1916. A warrant was issued for his arrest. Have no idea how he was accepted into the Army because he would have been classified as an alien. His pay in the army was three shillings a day.Pop was employed by Harbours and Marine Dept, Brisbane as a Mate and Diver on the dredge 'Platypus' in Moreton Bay during WW1 (1917), using the name SOLOMON. He lived on board his boat 'Ocean Spray' in the Hamilton Reach of the Brisbane River, and continued to do so until his death in 1961. The 'Ocean Spray' was built by his sons and son-in-law (Bill Beattie) at Bulimba on the south side of the Brisbane River. He applied for Registration as an Alien Resident of Australia on 31 August 1941 under the name of George Solomon- No.Q.25325 and prosecution was recommended as he had failed to register at the commencement of regulations. 'On summons at Brisbane on 6/10/41. Breach N.S. (Aliens Control) R.5(1) A.C. Regs. Fined Two Pounds and ordered to pay One pound seven shillings professional costs, in default 14 days imprisonment. D.C.R. 93/2/198. He then applied a second time for Registration as an Alien Resident of Australia on 9 November 1948 under the name George Fest- No.Q.1806. He was finally naturalized on 21st August 1957 in Brisbane. Series/Accession number J25/75, Item No. 1957/8876 (Database accession no. 1646220 from the Australian Archives). I understand he had to become naturalised to be entitled to the pension.
Pop was a diver on the wreck of the SS Rufus King in Moreton Bay in July 1942, when he nearly drowned. Pop was being rowed ashore to send a message to his family. The Docks Operating Company supplied the salvage crew for the SS Rufus King, but I have no idea if Pop was employed by them or the Marine Department.
Pop died in the Brisbane General Hospital 15 May 1961 from Pulmonary Embolism and Emphysema and (right) heart failure and cremated at Mt Thompson Crematorium. He had lost one lung in a diving accident while working on the American Liberty ship "Rufus King" in Moreton Bay during WW2. All these details have been obtained from his Queensland Marriage Certificate #1916/18048; Queensland Death Certificate #1961/44403; National Archives, Brisbane Office; and WW1 Army records from Canberra.

....[The Telegraph dated Friday, 19th August, 1938]'Floating homes' now solving house problems.
Because of difficulties in obtaining accommodation ashore, or because of a love of life on the water, a number of people are making a permanent home on house-boats or other craft on the Brisbane River.
Moored at Hamilton, is the 35 footer, Ocean Spray, which for the past 10 years has been the home of Mr George Fest, a fisherman.
His family has inherited his love of boat, and early this year, his youngest daughter, Mrs W. Zemek, with her husband, brother, toddler, and 5 months-old baby, travelled from Brisbane to Bowen in a 35-footer.
They encountered cyclones and ran out of water and food, before eventually reaching their destination a month after they had sailed.

Mary was my Grandmother - but I never saw her, not once. She was never mentioned, and as far as I knew, my father's mother was not alive. As far as I am aware, my father never saw his mother, even though we all lived in the Brisbane suburbs.
In 1925, Mary Fest was living Swansea Street, Annerley - home duties.
From the Brisbane Postal Records for the years 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 and 1935, the postal address for Mrs M E Fest was given as Lamington Avenue (Doomben), Hamilton.

LITTLE LOVE IN HER SPOUSE'S WELCOME
Husband's Alleged Greeting
HOME-COMING WAS JOYLESS. DECLARED WIFE
Maintenance Claim Succeeds
A wife's return to her husband's home after a brief absence should, normally be a happy affair. There should be handshakes, kisses of welcome, and quite a little fuss made. But, according to Mrs Mary Fest, of Sandgate, there was no such cheery scene when she went back to her husband's house at Doomben after an appearance at court recently.
Instead of somebody being there to point to the "Welcome" sign on the doormat, she said she found the doors locked and her call for admittance unanswered.
So, she secured a ladder and climbed through the window, she claimed. And, when finally she saw her husband, a Finnish diver and dredge officer, said Mrs Fest, he did not throw wide his arms in welcome, but cried instead, "I'll knock your brains out".
Mrs Fest made other remarkable allegations when she proceeded for maintenance against her husband, Charles Fest, of Lamington Avenue, Doomben, to the Brisbane Summons Court last week.
Diver Fest, in denying his wife's charges, told Magistrate F. C. M. Burne of his matrimonial troubles, adding: "I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea" - rather an unusual predicament for a sea diver to admit he was facing!
LOCKED OUT
Middle-aged and stout, Mrs Mary Fest, who now lives in Flinders-parade, Sandgate, intimated at the commencement of her story to Mr F.C.M. Burne, P. M., that from the day she married her Finnish husband in 1916, they lived together practically all the time - until September, 1936.
Early in that month, they arrived suddenly at the parting of the ways, and Mrs Fest, almost immediately, issued a summons calling on her husband to show cause why he should not support her.
The claim for maintenance, on that occasion, it was stated, was settled when Fest made an offer of a home, The agreement was reached on Thursday, September 3, and Mrs Fest undertook to return to the family love-nest on the following Monday.
According to her story, Mrs Fest presented herself at the home agreed upon - only to find that the door was locked and her cry for admittance unanswered.
"I got a ladder from under the house", declared Mrs Fest, "and I put it up to the child's bedroom window, and slept in the girl's bedroom".
As her husband was not at home, she spoke to the housekeeper, and later went to spend the day with a friend, who lived several doors away.
Returning to the house later that afternoon, claimed Mrs Fest, she found the house again locked and, on that occasion, she alleged, she had to secure a policeman's assistance to enter the place.
Actually, said the wife, she did not see her husband until the Wednesday night. And their meeting, she claimed, was not exactly a grand gesture of "Welcome Home" on the part of her husband.
Her story was that while Charles stood at the top of the stairs, she remained at the bottom and that her husband, instead of holding out the olive branch, abused and threatened her, and said - "What you have received is nothing to what you will receive. I'll never keep you... I'll knock your eyes out, and I'll knock your brains out".
He further allegedly said "You'll get nothing here, I've already got three homes to keep".
His attitude was such, claimed the wife, that she did not try to push the possibility for a reconciliation any further. Without more ado, she left the place and went to live at Flinders-parade, Sandgate.
"I was afraid of my husband", she told the Court.
On one occasion, stated Mrs Fest, she saw her husband at the Doomben Railway Station, when she declared,
he said to her, after hitting her under the chin and threatening to bash her eyes in, "Don't you dare come near the home again".
GAVE HER SIXPENCE
Asked if her husband had made any provision for her support, Mrs Fest replied that, after the original maintenance claim, he gave two threepenny bits.
"I had odd stockings on that day", she said, "and when I told him, he said it would be six months before I could get any more."
Fest, she explained, is a mate on a dredge, and she told the court that he is also employed as a diver. She added, "He gets 30/- every time he puts on his diving gear".
Mr Hangar, (the wife's Counsel): You are not prepared now to go back and live with your Husband? - That would be impossible, If I wasn't sick, I would go to work.
Fest said he was an employee of the Harbors and Rivers Department. He had lived with his wife at Doomben until May of this year, he added.
"Then she cleared out" he said, "and she took with her all the furniture she possibly could."
Fest declared that his wife did not return on the Monday, as she promised. It was on the Wednesday night that she arrived, he declared, then she knocked on the back door, and when he opened it, she ran down again."
" I asked her to come up, but she said she couldn't stay."
"Then", Fest went on, "she appeared at the house about a week later. She knocked on the door and when I opened it, she ran down again. I pleaded with her for about an hour and a half, but she wouldn't come in".
Describing the alleged meeting at Doomben Railway Station, Fest said: "When I saw her there I told her that if she went back to the house and pinched any more things, I would give her a good hiding. But I did not hit her then."
"BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND ...."
His wife, he said, never returned home as she promised at Court; but did nothing more than knock on the back door, and run down the stairs.
"She won't live with the children" he declared "and she won't live with me, though I am ready and willing to take her back."
Mr Hangar: Did you give your wife sixpence on the day of the last court case? - Yes.
Did you tell your wife that you couldn't keep three families? - No, that is all made up. Neither did he threaten to bash his wife's brains out, he said.
Fest declared that when he performs duties as a diver - he collects 30/- a day - less wages - which doesn't make the job of going under water much more payable than his usual work of officer on a dredge.
"I come from Finland" he said in answer to a further question.
Fest told Magistrate Burne that he is prepared to allow his wife back home. As his work sometimes keeps him away from home, he would like his wife to be there to be in charge of the house.
"But I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea" he remarked.
Mr Burne made an order in the wife's favor for 15/- per week.

Emily was a very talented artisan, as detailed in the following article:
'The value of our indigenous timber is becoming more and more apparent. For many years it has satisfied the tests required by builders and general contractors, and still more recently such species as yellow-wood and tulip-wood have proved in our cabiner-maker's hands, that they, too, possess qualities of durability and susceptibility of finish which are being largely recognised. These characteristics have for a long time past found an enthusiastic exponent in the person of Mr E. Kermode, of the Basin Pocket, samples of whose skill in wood-turnery are to be found in many homes in this town.
On Tuesday last we had the pleasure of inspecting some specimens of the art which will stortly be forwarded by Mr Kermode to the Isle of Man as a present to Mr H. E. Gelling, a friend of the donor.
The first article submitted to our notice was a handsome chest of drawers, constructed mainly of cedar from Mount Mistake and the Brisbane River, to which localities Mr Kermode, whose experience in such matters cannot be impugned, awards the palm for cedar-growing. The chest is surmounted by double mouldings, with chaste carvings of fruit and flowers, while, in addition to the full-length drawers, several smaller ones have been fitted up to serve as an 'escritoire'. To one of these a patent lock has been affixed, whose mechanism is intended to bewilder possible thieves who might be inclined to furtively examine the contents of the receptacle. The very best cedar has been used in the manufacture of this elegant piece of furniture; as the handles are of yellow-wood and as intersections of highly-finished tulip-wood have been made in the escritoire the effect is admirable and striking. Next we are shown a small cabinet, a sort of epitome of its larger companion, of which we have just spoken. It, too, can boast of neat carvings, but, of course, not so elaborate as those first mentioned, though quite appropriate to its general appearance. Two very handsome foot-stools of yellow-wood, with cedar legs darkened to resemble rosewood, then appealed to our notice. These stools are cushioned with violet plush-velvet, and appear to be well adapted for their future service. We also observed a jewel case, which, when viewed from above, is in the form of a segment of a circle. The case, which is lined with the same material as the stools, is surmounted by an elegantly carved watch stand. A glass case came next in view, containing samples of white and yellow silk, grown by Mr Kermode's family. It was would and encased by Miss E. Kermode, who also manufactured the cabiner, jewel-case, and footstools previously described, and whose artistic ability is, in them, amply displayed. Coocoons, in which the chrysalis had been destroyed, are so arranged as to divide the several samples of silk. Finally, we examined, four tri-legged gipsy cedar tables. These have double-moulded tops, and are very ornamental. Moreover, threads have been turned on these cedar legs while taps have been turned in the centre ball into which they screw, and from which they can of course be released for the purpose of being packed. All these articles are made of Queensland cedar, tulip-wood, and yellow-wood, and the result of their utilisation is as gratifying as the skilful workmanship of Mr Kermode and his family is undeniably apparent'.
