Below is a Hiski record that shows the name of the farm in Ristijarvi as By Slut. Can you tell me what the Finnish wording would be. I can not find anything related to that in the Communion Book for Ristijarvi.

Re: Translate farm named By Slut
By slut = (literally) end of village
The persons who were not land owners or tenants but for instance "inhyses" were arranged in communion book to the ends of listings by village/farm. First the permanent population and then the less rooted ones.
This phrase shows only that the farm number was not applicable for a number of persons. In Finnish language at least when spoken, in some places the "inhyses folk" were called kylänloppuiset, or village-enders.
This reference by numbering seemed odd to me at first sight since no village name is mentioned for the majority. Normally parishes have several villages but not here.
Looking into the communion book you should find the family of Japhet in Litt section, which is arranged by family name in alphabetic order. Some other clergyman would used Litt so-and-so as the reference.
In your case look into Litt K (towards end of it).
