Notes
- The Halliste household book (EAA.1275.1.546 img 70) gives two dates braced together, 2 Feb 1877 and 12 Apr 1878. Research note: 2 Feb 1877 is the birth of his brother Hans (K-025), who has no row of his own in the household book; so Märt's date is probably 12 Apr 1878.
- Baptism found as a late entry at the end of the 1878 births (img 25), which is why the research missed it. (Earlier: images 4–15 checked without result.) No Koik child in Paistu deaths 1877 or 1878.
