Eteläpohjalaiset Juuret 1-2009
http://www.etelapohjalaiset-juuret.fi/index.htm

The first issue of 2009 traditionally includes accounts of lineage- and settlement histories, which
will expose some very large family line networks. It is highly likely that almost every person
possessing Ostrobothnian roots may find connections to some of the figures or families discussed
in the various articles below. The contents of this issue have been enhanced by inclusion of other
type of historical articles and small scale research papers also.
Matti Lehtiö; A Handful of Enlightenment - Laurentius Petri, page 4
Laurentius Petri Vasensis, who started out in the year 1628 as an assistant to the parish of Isokyrö,
fathered children whom settled down to Kyrönmaa, regenerated and got secularised. Although no
descendants of that line are known after Isoviha, there is a possibility to that to exist. Secularised
descendants to such priestly lineage are nevertheless an interesting part of the history of farming and of
clergy in Ostrobothnia.
Matti Lehtiö: Latvatalo - A House at the top of the Village, p.7
The article makes the readers familiar with the settlement history of the house of Latvatalo from
Ylistaro`s village of Topparla even from the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th. Latvatalo is one
of the rare 17th century settlement estates of Kyrönmaa which story of origin is revealed in the article.
Matti Lehtiö: Vexed Question of The Mace Rebel Leader Perttu Palo, p.9
Several professional historians of prestige have pondered upon the problematic issue regarding mace
rebel leaders Perttu Palo´s age, and they have come to a conclusion that there were two different
persons with the same name: the older of whom was the grandfather ot the mentioned leader. These
ponderings began when researchers proposed that the name Perttu Palo figures far too long a time in
the taxregisters of the period, even from 1540 all the way up to the seventeenth century. But whether
this is only due to misinterpretation of earlier times´registers or not, is discussed in the this treatise that
also attempts to define the propable life span of the the fore mentioned mace rebel leader.
Markku Pihlajaniemi: Leprosy or Leper in the South-Ostrobothnia, p.13
Documents tell us that leprosy occured in Finland already from the time of the 1300s. This disease was
common in South-Ostrobothnia also and people affected by it were confined inside a certain hospital in
Kruunupyy. The article examines, through an extensive and many-sided documentation, what it meant
for those taken ill and their families.
Irja Hirsivaara: Patriarchs, Sons and Daughters of Kahma, p.18
Here the readers are familiarized with the inhabitants of the house of Kahma from the village of Palo in
Ilmajoki from the sixteenth century far into the eighteenth. Kinship relations feature for example with
such clans from the parish of Ilmajoki as the Nikkola, Mylläri and Ranto as well as with the line of
Härkönen from Alavus and Katila from Orismala in Isokyrö.
Matti Lehtiö: Patriarchs of Vähä-Palo - right/wrong, p.23
The house of Vähä-Palo in Isokyrö has been awarded a family farm certificate of honour, reaching as
far back in time as the latter 1600s. The nomenclature of this certificate is correct but there is a quite
substantial set of deficiency concerning the ownership relations. The small scale research here attempts
to reconstruct the correct list of the patriarchal masters of Vähä-Palo, based on house ownership.
Matti Lund: People of Veikkaala´s Berg, p.24
The article contains a large amount of different clan relations, the base of which, and the point of
departure of the text, is shown to be the house of Berg and its dwellers in the village of Veikkala in
Mustasaari. Reciprocal exchange of family- and ownership relations is examined between the
forementioned house and the clan of Kallio from Laihia. These ingredients of kinship surveys, reaching
back deep into the eighteenth century, will expose connections of blood through a wide variety of
families from Mustasaari, Laihia and, even, Vähäkyrö.
Kimmo Kemppainen: Stock of Haapoja, p.38
The House of Haapoja in Ylihärmä is founded in the1600s. The article follows the paths of the
inhabitants of the said house all the way to the 1700s. The people of Haapoja are seen to be making
family bonds in the region of Lapua between the clans, for example, of Lööpari, Yliselän, Kojola,
Takala, Pernoja, and Järvi. Further sons and daughters of law are introduced into the mix from much
farther away: via such stocks as Bärs from Ytterjepon, Heroja from Kuortane, Luoma from Palonkylä
in Isokyrö and through the clans of Pouttu, Toppari and Iivari from Ylistaro.
Matti Lehtiö: Sacred Nomenclature - part of our cultural possession, p.42
In the Finnish locational nomenclature a prefix of pyhä features abundantly. This nomenclature has
received also a significant addition through an equvalent prefix in Swedish of helig, meaning "sacred" -
especially found in the area of the old, great parish of Kyrö. This research paper concentrates on the
locational nomenclature derived from the mentioned Swedish prefix.
Hillevi Tyni: Many Stocks From Hirsimäki, p.43
The title already refers to the problems inherent in the topic, even though the settlemental history of
Kauhava´s Hirsimäki is not especially long. As we qet acquainted with some characters of the said
house, it seems increasingly so that there are not many families in Kauhava with at least some
connection to the inhabitants of Hirsimäki. These people had kinship relations even to much wider
geographical area. As an example, some relations are found that point to Lappajärvi, Kuortane and
Jepua.
Markku Pihlajaniemi: Settlement Farm of Opas and Juho Eskonpoika, p.52
A settlement farm by the name of Opas was founded in Kurikka during the mid 1600s, and its people
manage to create quite an interesting history for the posterity to study. Some further flavour is added to
the story by the marriage of a daughter of Ylöjärvi`s assistant priest Laurentius Forlund to the house of
Opas. Further relations of kinship were kindled with, for example, Nikkola and Homi in Kurikka,
Lammi and Korkiakoski in Jalasjärvi and Kurki in Kurjenkylä.
Matti Lehtiö: The Unbendable Stock of Taittonen, p.58
The article familiarizes itself with the house of Taittonen, and its inhabitants from the sixteenth to the
beginning of eighteenth century, in the village of Kuuttila in Vähäkyrö. The text also reveals the
surprising earlier name of the house. Another finding from the old documents may concern all present
day members of this lineage that has spead far and wide, namely, how to deal with a forefather
contaminated by leprosy?
Matti Lehtiö: Piittari`s piitalla, p.62
There was a house of Piittari in the village of Kuuttila in Vähäkyrö, mentioned by its name in certain
documents dating from the sixteenth century. This small scale research paper concentrates on the
secrets of the house name.
Matti Lehtiö: The Vanished House of Kaisa of Saarenpää, p.64
In the village of Saarenpää of Vähäkyrö there existed even at the start of the 1600s a little house
governed by widowed wife Kaisa. This article examines the fate of the vanhished house and its lands
and how attempts were made to reconstitute an already decades ago abandoned house again.
Matti Lehtiö: Lottila Reveals Its Secrets, p.66
Ylistaro´s assistant priest had an estate of Ookila with an interesting residential history in which an
already vanished Lottila-named house is reconstituted again and its lands gathered together anew for
the residence of the county´s new priest. Long out of tax-registers Ookila estate is reviewed and thus
found new information, by means of which it is possible to find out some names of the original settlers
as well as the anciently vanished house´s adjacent crofters´
settlement. By comparing the period documents to tax-registers of the time, we can make sure, where
was the birth place of the house´s original inhabitants and thus clarify the settlement history around the
area of Kylänpää in Ylistaro.
