Thank you, Paula for the additional information. It is going to add more information to blanks I have in the records. I understand about the information about a possible epidemic in 1764-1766. Those are hard to trace. It makes you stop and look at all the people that died of the same thing and then you see the family names repeat themselves and you can't help wonder how afraid they must have been when friends or relatives become ill and will it affect their family. It's as if you are watching a possible epidemic unfold in front of you. For those of us that are of the age remember our parents talk about the Influenza Epidemic, the Diphtheria Epidemic, the Polio Epidemic, the Measles Epidemic and those are 20th century epidemic that took millions of lives. Each century has it's own Epidemics.
Thank you Paula for her help. And thank you Jani for that information about Viipuri and Russia and Finland. Very interesting.
