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 1874 – 1883 were used to confirm village and identify farm names. 4, 5 & 6
