Discussions in English / SV: Help reading name of a parish in Finland

« skrivet: 2017-07-06, 00:09 »

Thank you both for your help. It does look like the second part could be soch. The first part sort of looks like Torn.

I was under the impression that most Finns in this area came from Savo, as Håkan said. I know some were from Rautalampi in particular. I've been looking at the parish list here, but none of them seem to match exactly. Do these parishes have different names in Swedish and is there a list of the names in Swedish somewhere?

I think I will also check more of the Grangärde records and see if I can find the same place written elsewhere, where it might be easier to read.

I am trying to figure out the name of a parish in Finland that is listed on a Husförhör. It is the birthplace of Agnita Jönsdotter on the second line of the attached image. It is on page 98 of the 1653-1686 Husförhör for Grangärde, Kopparberg.

I found this one tree that has her birthplace listed as Tårnio Aulu Finland, but it doesn't seem like that is what the record actually says. I also don't get any results for Tårnio Aulu when I search for it on Google.

Any help would be appreciated.
