Translating Finnish Records
« on: Tuesday 15 March 16 22:05 GMT (UK) »
Good Evening!

I have recently been on a database trying to find any records on the Vienonen family of Ypäjä, Finland and came across a document that seems to have the name on the second line with his first name being "Juka" from the looks of it. Does anyone have an idea on what it might say? or could i just be over looking into it? My Finnish isn't the best so any pointers will be appreciated!

Many Thanks

TJames

Hi

My Finnish isn't that good but living in Sweden helps a little anyway.
Here is my best shot...

?  ?  Hired man Juha Viktor Wienonen and Lovaii Siivolan house maid Mathilda Kallentytär; ?  ?

Thanks very much for that Ian! It's a bit strange that there are three people on the document, maybe one of them is a witness or Juha's "äiti" (mother or maybe the next of kin). I shall look into it more! and hopefully i will find some answers!

Many Thanks

I think its a marriage document of some sort but I'm not certain, here is the link!

After a little decyphering here is the full translation:


Manninen, Paavola, Hired man Juha Viktor Wienonen and Lovän Siivolan servant girl. Mathilda Kallentytär Ark; married at home.

Manninen (also Manni Sten) is the village. Paavola is the place. Tytär means daughter - daughter of Kallen or Kalle.

Hello Ian,

Thanks for the full translation, now I have some new names that I'm sure will fit on the family tree somewhere although I'm not to sure were! I am doing this research for a man called Urho Vienonen who i posted on sometime back, his father is unknown so I assume there is a possibility that Juha is his grandfather or a great-uncle as the village is pretty small so i can't imagine there are many other fitting names of people. So, the search goes on!

Many Thanks
