Notes

  • New person. Née Erg: daughter of Märt Erg and An; in the Erg household book entry (vol. 298 p. 4/5; SL-173) with siblings Els (1848), Kert (1852) and Jakkan (1856), and a note read "28 Aug 83 … Peter Purtsak" (medium-low; a struck "Peter" beside her line needs a second look). Her marriage is not in the Halliste Estonian lists for 1883 (entries 1–76) or 1884 (most entries) or the German-form 1883 list (entries 1–40). Living at her daughter's marriage in Nov 1907 ("Anu"). She came to Karksi in 1922, the same year as Marie's family, and probably lived with them (inference).
