Koivisto from Kauhajoki, Finland

Surnames: Koivisto
From year 1800-1900 there are many Koivisto born in Kauhajoki. Some take their fathers surname, and some switch from their patrynomikon to the place they are born (patrinomikon is normaly the swedish way of naming the child when the family lacks a family name, and taking the surname from the birthplace is the finnish way of naming the child, like: Johu Jaakonpoika from Koivisto (in swedish: Johan Jakobsson = Johan, the son of Jakob) stabilizes as Juho Koivisto when Johan Jakobsson moves to a finnish-speaking parish.

One way to find a relative with the surname Koivisto in Finland is to look at all the "Koivisto Torp". A "torp" can be renamed to "Koivisto torp" when someone with the surname Koivisto moves in, but if someone without a surname moves in, the children born there is named Koivisto as the surname, instead of the patrynomikon.

Here I have listed and attached some "Koivisto torp" in Kauhajoki in the period (1895-1905), many of the persons here is named Koivisto later in life, while others is named after the place where the father is born.
