Hammarland

Because parish Communion records are listed by village and farm name 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 1877 – 1886 and Land Records were used to confirm village and identify farm names. ^{10, 11, 12}
