I have a male ancestor that died at age 83 in December 1757. Hiski says his cause of death was af ett fall.
Could you please tell me what af ett fall means.
Thank You

Hello, I am researching my Great Grandfather's family and it looks at though I have all the information for all members of the family except for the birthdate of his Mother; Lisa Olofs:dr Pietilä from Kemijarvi. Below you will see a copy of my findings and the FFHA page I referred to for the list of...

Hello Eevah and timotk The previous has the wrong wording Lukuapua. I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that is someone's name and I just noticed your two names. I have not been on this site in a while and I forgot to look in the right place for your names. Thanks again for all the help both of you gave me. ...

Hello, Lukuapua Thank you so much for reviewing my request. I had a feeling that it may have been suicide. I'll try to investigate further for more information and look over her family records to see if something catastrophic may have happened before she died, perhaps other deaths within the family....

I had an ancestor that died in 1783 with cause of death being Svarmod according to Hiski record as shown below. I think it may have something to do with depression or melancholy. Could this be a suicide? Salla Buried Link to this event [ 3733324 ] Died / Buried 5.7.1783 15.3.1784 Village / Farm Kurs...

Hello, Eeva
Thank you so much for your reply. I, also, am thinking Whooping Cough, although the others could not be ruled out. How sad for all those families to lose a new member to their family and to be helpless in curing them.
I appreciate you replying to my post.
Have a nice week.

Thank you for reviewing cause of death. I have the link mentioned bookmarked. I see that the motality rate among children was high in the 1700's but in this one year, and perhaps the year before and after, it looks as though there was an epidemic that spread through the country. I counted the above ...

Hello, Can you please tell me what is ok. b. sj. as a cause of death. I found this in Hiski while looking up deaths of ancestors. In 1767 (and maybe before and after 1767) I found large numbers of infants, weeks old or a month old that died from the above disease. At first I thought it was pneumonia...

Hello, Maisa
What you described sounds correct and the age fits the cause.
Thank you for helping me with this, I appreciate it.

Hello, I was quite surprised to see so many entries for one person. Thank you so much for trying to determine if there was a cause of death. I hope it didn't take you long to work on my request. When I saw the word repeated I thought it could be a cause of death. It would not be the first time that ...

Thank you, Taltta for translating the text I requested. I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me, and it helped me fill in some blanks in my family history.
