Hans-Erik Krokfors: The Korpilainen Home in Korplax, Karleby |
 | | Korplax lies north-east of (Gamla) Karleby, north of the river Perho/Vetil/Rödså [the same river with different names depending upon which parish/village it is floting through], and borders on the Parish of Kelviå (Kälviä). |
 | | Merchants in the Karleby area were not content with passive business in the home area but also undertook business travel to the south, west, and north. |
 | | In 1611, there were 35 soldiers attached to the large Parish of Karleby, according to the riksdag [governmental meeting] decision made earlier at Örebro, Sweden, as to how many soldiers each parish should supply to the crown. |
