My great grandfather, Gustaf Maurits Gustafsson Markkula, took the name 'Markkula' (from the Markkula Croft) when he married my great grandmother. Her parents worked the Markkula Croft before he did when he married their daughter.
How many 'separate' families work a croft? I'm wondering if there were other families that worked the Markkula Croft that could take that as a last name but aren't my relatives?
They are in the Sakyla communion book on the Markkula Croft page which lists him, my great grandmother, MY grandmother and all her siblings.
I'm wondering because, while on the Migration Institute website, I came across a Kalli Markkula from the Sakyla parish. That name isn't listed but the name Karl IS listed and both names have the same birth year. Are the odds in my favor that Kalli is Karl, my great uncle?
I'd greatly appreciate if you can help me understand how this works.
Thank you,
