Might be an idea if the original poster posts the headstone photo found by Ian in reply no.14 and asks for advice.

Björnvik is in Eugmo, Larsmo - Luoto, a parish near to Nykarleby.

I am assuming of course that I have the right Björnvik and Yrjäs.

They were living at Björn. You can see a faint Björnvik above Carl Johan's name.

Superb

You must have the eyes of a hawk to make out the word Björnvik.

I can see a B and a J but the rest is a garble.

Well done

Cheers. Easy to miss those type of things.
