Hello, I have not read this book, but this story has been told long time ago and is widely known in Ilmajoki.
One thing is that there is no source or original information about Matias' or his wife's parents. There are old stories but no real proof about Stuut as Sofia's father.
Matias Laurentii has not been mentioned with a surname in the original documents, and there is no information about his parents or birth place. This is based on the information of Ilmajoki based surveyors like Tapio Piirto who has gone through all possible documents availbe from 1500 century in Ilmajoki.
Thank you for your information. I have some issues to find info in Swedish about the storys that is told in Finnish. I can not read or speak Finnish so it is very important that my Finnish friends can help😊😊/Laila
