Samuel Hiivanainen(x 1849) was a son of Matts Göransson
Hiivanainen, farmer in Ala-Ilkka house in Ilmajoki and his
second wife Anna Samuelsdaughter Potka, born about 1819
in Laihia parish near Vaasa city.
Matts Hiivanainen was maybe first married with Helen Zachris-
daughter, born 1788-1789, At the time of this marriage Matts
H. lived in Ilkka house. The Ilkka house is wellknown in Finland, because Jaakko(Jacob) Ilkka, the first owner of the
Ilkka house in 1580-1600 was a bestknown leading freedom-
fighter in Finland. A local newspaper is called after him Ilkka
and in summertime they show an outdoor opera in Ilmajoki,
which opera tells about Jaakko Ilkka. Ilkka-family and their
descendents have a familysociety, which have published
a book of familydescendents. Maybe the Hiivanainen-family
could be found in that book. If I found the book I can e-mail
the facts of that book or other things of the H-family.
