Sjundeå

Characteristic of Sjundea are the hills and valleys of the northern area. Most areas are covered in forests. The Sjuntio river flows through the northeast and winds its way down to the Baltic Sea. Various sized lakes are found in the central and southern parts. In the west are large flat areas of cultivated fields. ²

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 1871–1880 were used to confirm villages and identify farm names.  ^{7, 8}
