Thank you again, Kimpula, for all of the information.

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.

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 grea...

Thank you for the translation.Anything and everything I find that mentions my family members, I incorporate into my document This is probably one of the last entries about Erik as he died later that year from typhus. So many of my family members died 1866 - 1868 from typhus and other diseases. What ...

Merry Christmas to Everyone! I am still researching and writing about my family. It’s been awhile since my last question. I am not sure how I found this document but if I hit enough links, I will usually end up finding something. This is a page from the document “Minutes of the Board of Nursing”. I ...

Thank you again, Kimpula.

Thank you for the translation. I am glad he wasn’t getting another fine. My family seemed to get a lot of those. :D In the Church meeting book from which this came, I see a lot of the farmer’s signatures on the pages. As property owners did they run the town? Were they given special privileges and p...

Just a thought….. I found a case about a stabbing and it seems the court was more interested in imposing a large fine instead of jail time. So perhaps that is the same for this case.

The handwriting on this page is terrible. Could someone please translate the paragraph about Erik Eriksson Anttila on the bottom left page. I don’t need the entire paragraph translated - just a summary would be great. I think it is about paying a fine in Lappajärvi and Alajärvi but I can’t figure ou...

Thank you for the links. The second link took me to the court archives and although the Karvala case was not there, I found a very interesting case concerning other family members. The archives cover the years 1701-1873 and just my luck, the Karvala case I was looking for occurred in November of 187...

I am not sure what I am looking for. I ended up on the website national.finna.fi and found the archives “Ed:1 Court of Appeal decisions (1843-1898) but I can’t look at anything specific. I am also not sure that this is the correct website. I looked at other websites but they have recent court archiv...

Thank you for the information. It doesn’t seem that my family was closely related to them. Thank goodness. But they were neighbors. What an awful way to die! What I can’t understand is why these three men did not spend the rest of their lives in jail. I have a relative in Sweden who spent two years ...

I somehow found access to some old Finnish newspapers from a Swede Finn website. Everything I seem to find is nothing but sad news about my family and the villages they were from - the typhus outbreak/famine of 1866-68, the auction of the Anttila homestead but the worst is what I found on this link....

Thank you Jani. The keys in the link you sent me make a lot more sense that what I had.
