Thank you for translating>
That was sure unexpected!

I found this record of my ancestor Sara Simonsdotter Sihtala being fined 1 32.
Can anyone translate what the fine was for?
Thank you,

Thank you for clarifying this. The concept of the Finnish farm is a bit confusing to me. For example the name of the farm changes from one generation to the next, from Sihtala No 6 to Anttila No 6. I am trying to figure out where those names come from and why they change. My great-grandfather who im...

Thank you for your reply. Especially thank you for the link to the estate inventory. What a wonderful document to have! I have tried to navigate through the archives, but never found the estate inventories. I was just stating that in general I have read about the eldest son inheriting the farm. I di...

I am trying to figure out at what age the eldest son Henrik would have inherited the family farm. Henrik Eriksson’s father (and grandfather) both died in 1814 when he was 16 years old. His mother, Greta Eriksdotter, married Tobias Andersson, a much younger man who was a lowly farmhand. Tobias is lis...

One last thought on this subject.
I noticed that in the death records only for a few deceased was this cloth rented from the church. They seem to be the head of the household or their wives, no children. Perhaps it was some sort of prestige to have this cloth covering your casket.

Thank you for this information.

As I look through the death records, I notice that very few people whose died had these burial cloths rented for them. Was there some significance in renting these cloths? Was there some prestige associated with the burial cloth?

Thank you. This is very interesting. I am working on a document for my children and grandchildren about our Finnish heritage. If I do not do it, it might never get done. I have memories and stories from my Finnish grandmother that I want to preserve. I have completed the section on my great-grandpar...

That is a great idea. I do not have Facebook but my children do.
Thank you.

I seem to have a lot of questions but I am trying my best to understand these records. I am unable to find my great-great-great grandmother’s birth record. I have looked three years in each direction but I can’t find it in the birth records. Why would a birth not be recorded? Is there anywhere else ...

Thank you. It seems that they charge everyone 3 (riksdaler?) for the item.

There is a column on this document called “bårkläde” and I can’t find a translation for it. I am thinking it is funeral burial clothing. But I do not know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lynette

Thank you for the information.
As of yet, I have not found Anttila on any map but I will keep looking.
