Family farm auctioned off?

[Lynette1]

I am unsure if I have come to the correct conclusion using these documents and would greatly appreciate any help in determining so.
I would really like to know if my family’s farm was auctioned off. This happened right after the typhus / famine years and the farm owner Erik Eriksson Anttila (my great-great grandfather) died.

One of the main things I can’t reconcile is that the farm was 11/128 mantal size but only 3/64 in the newspaper article about the auction. Perhaps only part of the farm needed to be sold to pay off the debts?

I am using an iPad which does not work properly in the court search - I can only access the first page of matches so I have to look at the court cases page by page which makes finding court records difficult.

This is what I think happened (see links below)

The farm was deeply in debt. (I know this from other sources).
The heirs took over the farm and tried to refinance the debt but still were unable to make the farm profitable.
The farm was auctioned off.
The eldest daughter and her husband somehow bought the farm. Unknown of it was at the auction or beforehand.

The case begins at the bottom of the page.
!868 - the Anttila children (only adult sons are mentioned) transfer the debt and ownership of the farm to them.

The Anttila children are refinancing the debt.

I found this newspaper article which I believe is the auctioning off of the Erik Eriksson Anttila homestead now listed under the eldest son’s name which was the same as his father’s.

April 9, 1870 - The Anttila children do not appear to own the farm anymore except for Susanna who is married to Johan Eriksson (?Rokala) Johan is selling some of the acreage.

Johan and Susanna are the farm owners.

Thank you,

According to this page

the case started earlier

records the sale of a farm of mantal 33/128 ??


This page
https://digi.kansalliskirjasto.fi/sanom ... oki&page=6
says that the farm Kurejoki number 6 had six "subfarms" on auction.

3/32 + 1/16 + 1/8 + 3/64 =
6/64 + 4/64 + 8/64 + 3/64 = 21/64 = 42/128 mantal

If you want to know how original farm Kurejoki 6 was divided
to "subfarms" you must look "maarekisteri" for Kurejoki.

Ugh. I mean *four* "subfarms".

Thank you for the information.

Do you think Johan Eriksson and Susanna purchased the farm at the auction?

Are the maarekisteri online?

I can’t locate the father Erik Eriksson Anttila’s estate inventory. Could it be he never had one because the farm’s finances were in such bad shape.

says that the announcement was made in "Kuortaneen woudinkonttorissa".
So all (surviving) documents of the auction should be in Kuortaneen kihlakunnan arkisto.
Go to https://astia.narc.fi/uusiastia/ and search for

kuortane* kihlakun*

The stars are important

(Auction is huutokauppa in Finnish so search for huutokaup* or pakkohuutokaup*

Are the maarekisteri online?

Go to https://astia.narc.fi/uusiastia/ and search for

I have no idea.

Have you seen these sales of the Anttila farm?
It goes from number 5 to 54 (on the bottom right of the screen)
