In 1878 there was a famine. [6]

On a 1700 map the Kortesoja that shows up is the same as the one that shows up with the river bulging towards it on the link next. Also the surrounding farms are more properly placed with this Kortesoja. However today it is a district on the modern map. Click [7] ] However, the Kortesoja today is south of that so after viewing the "old" Kortesoja and coming back to the bio, click here right after viewing the results above and both will appear. [8]
