Later also Anna-Kaisa dies for an unknown reason and their brother, Jaakko disappears from the records.

But there is soon an unexpected turn:

Almost all of Maria's siblings have epilepsy:
Johannes in his early 30's suddenly dies in an epileptic seizure.
Greta, Lisa and Anna-Kaisa all are marked to have it.
Two of them later die in small pox in their early 20's.

Their widowed mother, Riitta, remarried and the family grew with a stepbrother, Emmanuel.
The Family clearly survived from the war.
