Parish Records

Because parish Communion records are listed by village and farm names and because farm names often were used as a part of a person’s name, it is interesting to note the following farms. HisKi project findings were used as a starting point to identify parish villages.  Then Parish Communion Records of 1873 – 1882 were used to confirm village and identify farm names. 6, 7 & 8 

In parish records, villages are grouped together by geographical locations referred to as a Bol.   The 1873-1882 records included:
