Grandfather, "Daniel HENRICKSON" spoke only "broken English" all his life & found it difficult to communicate with his family. Sometimes his wife assumed that from Daniel's stories, that he had a [slightly older] brother Andrew and at least 3 sisters, named: Pearl, Annie and Herma.These names he passed on to his own daughters. Whether or not there were more in the family, she doesn't know."
Another story is that Daniel's brother Andrew went to California with their father Aron to study medicine. Possibly sometime in the 1880's

Andrew = Anders (later Antti),
Pearl = means Helmi which is a correct name,
Annie = Anna or Anni
Herma = Herman?? (brother, or is there another alternative; Hilma might be too different?)
Hi all...
More than likely another red herring but, just for the record, I'll add the following to the thread...
-----
There was an Andrew HENDRICKSON b.1857 Finland d.1941 Philipsburg, Montana, USA (so "slightly older" than Daniel b.1860)
He had several children, amongst them an Anna.
Andrew's 1941 obituary also mentions his brother Eric of Seashore, Oregon, USA.
Eric had several children, amongst them a Helma
