I have some troubles trace my family of Joen Pajari Olkkuri From Kanuuskylä (Helsingbyn) In Ylitorneå, Finland. (Some has mentioned it also Pajala) Near Torneå River on the finnish side. Wonder if anyone can share the information they have on my great grandad with me?
This family is of old finnish nobility/Heraldy (With obviesly german-Russian roots) and i know this because it showes also in the tree of my mum. the whole way from them to my mums family.
I have found Olkkuri, Pajari, Pajare, Pajar, Paul, Pauli , Bajare, Bajari, Bojari, Ludwijk, Lodvijk, Lodwika, Ludik, Lujwik Wich ended up later as Kyöstäjä in Lovikka (Seen they have changed their names a lot trough time) and this part of my family seems to have vikinglines and it has traced me back to Novogrod Russia and Germany Habsburg/Oldenburg of some reason. I also found some landmarkings/land brands some looks more like crests and some looks like runes and i seen they have used that one that looks as a crest latest during the end of the 1800 by my great grandads house pesant that was employed by him. I seen that theses landmarks/landbrands was inherited by the son inside the decendant family with the land, houses and horse and cattles in decending generations as an rule just like crests and titles are inherited. (See my page about my writings about Joen Pajari)
I also seen he was protected by the king and was obviesly some kind of tax agent for the king and trough that he gotten the kings protection and did not need to pay any tax for his lands etc. Probably because he was working for the king/heraldy, This person had also ppl that worked for him. This makes me see he is of nobelty.
He had Peasant people, Maids etc who served for him and his ownage. He also owned a horse which at this time was an status symbol. Only rich/wealthy noble people had this, To own an horse was an status symbol.
On the yard where his house where once situated has they been making archelogical diggings and found silver knives with nobility engravemants and other beautiful things.
If anyone has anything on my great great grandad that is related to me trough my mum on her mothers side Kyöstäjä in Lovikka to Pajari Olkkurri in Lovikka i would be MUCH! appreciated. Thank you
