    Is it true in the 1800s a family took the name of the farm they have purchased?
    In Finnish genealogical research, researching people with a common surname is not always productive because people often changed their surnames when they moved or for other reasons. In the beginning of the 1900s as Finnish nationalism grew, many Swedish and other foreign sounding names were changed to Finnish names just like Hakala.

    Do you have information about Hämeenkorpi genealogy in Alavieska?
    You most probably have searched for Hämeenkorpi on the Internet and found this genealogical report on Jaakko Korpinen and his wife Anna-Liisa by David T. Koyzis: http://www.redeemer.on.ca/academics/polisci/Jake_n_Lizzie.htm. I include the link anyway, just in case. Mr Koyzis says the genealogy is based on the Alavieska parish records, with additional information from his distant relatives in Finland. Jaakko's family name Korpinen stems from the name of the Hämeenkorpi farm in Alavieska....26.3.2007 00:55Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
