Notes
- New person. Marri Riig's father; his father was Jaak. The family lived at Leppiko, not Lobbine: "Lobbine" is only Marri's birthplace as written in 1845, and no Riig was found in any Lobbine household (1826 release list, 1834 and 1850 revisions).
- The Els of 1850 (aged 30) is probably a second wife: Marri's mother Els was dead by March 1845. The 1850 sons Jaan 12, Karl 7 and Johann ¾ would then be Marri's half-brothers; two sons called Jaan (b. about 1823 and about 1838) are unexplained.
- The 1826 release list ages (Peter 38, Marri 4½) disagree with the revisions; the revisions are preferred.
