Parish Records
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 1856–1862 were used to confirm villages and identify farm names. 6, 7 & 8
Over 100 villages were identified in the Kyrslätt Parish. A large number of villages did not include farm names.
This map of Kyrsklätt Parish from 1938 displays on the HisKi project website, made available by the Genealogical Society of Finland. 6
