Bad source and some other points

 * I wouldn't be so sure about using the Rappaport "encyclopedia" (Encyclopedia of Women Social Reformers: M – Z 2. Santa Barbara, California: ABC-CLIO. ISBN 978-1-57607-101-4) as a source since it manages to misspell Furuhjelm's name throughout the entire article. Not to mention that a number of things in this article that are sourced back to it do not seem to exist (Rekoor Castle, for instance. Is this supposed to be referring to Baranof Castle?).
 * Annie was born in New Archangel/New Arkhangelsk/Novoarkhangelsk, not Sitka, which started to be used for the town in 1867, long after Annie was born.
 * Dates are written in differing styles DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-YYYY.


 * The book Letters from the Governor's Wife: A View of Russian Alaska 1859-1862 suggests that Annie was born in Baranoff Castle ("There was a club where gentlemen played billiards, a hospital, schools, an excellent library, a museum of natural history and ethnography, private residences and Company barracks, and last, but not least, the governors’ magnificent manor house, often referred to as “the Baranoff Castle”. Built on the top of a steep hill overlooking the town and the harbour, it was to become Anna’s next address after her mother’s city flat in Helsinki, and the first home that Governor Furuhjelm and his wife had shared.) -93.106.215.181 (talk) 15:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Please feel free to make changes to the article. No one owns an article on WP, the beauty of collaboration is that we can improve sourcing and information as we find it. There are tons of differences in the sourcing that people can obtain from different places, thus we all have access to different materials. SusunW (talk) 17:19, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
