Research notes

  • Confidence: High: baptism, death entry and household book agree.
  • A sixth child of Juhan and Marie, between Ida (1908) and Peter (1912). His death at Karksi manor in 1919 suggests the family was already at the manor then, a year earlier than the 1920–21 move recorded elsewhere (to check).
