I am having great difficulty translating the notation in the remarks column for Heikki Erkinpoika Anttila (4th line).
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Lynette

Original: ottanut reisupassin rautateille"
Translation: "taken travel passport to the railways"
Probably went to build railway lines from Hämeenlinna to Tampere that was finished in 1876.

Thank you Jaska!
That is really interesting!

Should there be a record of him leaving the parish to work for the railroad? I was unable to find an entry for him in the in-and-out migration records.
Thank you,
Lynette

Should there be a record of him leaving the parish to work for the railroad?

My interpretation: Since he did not take "muuttokirja" he did not move his official residence from one parish to another. "Reisupassi" seems to be a permit to go to work for the railroad without changing your official residence,

Last column, "Afgått/Lähtö" seems to show that he "moved" to Lappajärvi in 1878.

Thank you for the explanation. Perhaps he was living in some sort of barracks that were provided by the railroad.
