2. Bo Brunzell ( http://www.brunzell.org/Bosses/000/002/330.htm )
Per Staffansson died 1755 at Rattsjöberget [ household records for Rattsjöberget doesn't have name or death]

- Bo Brunzell has a note/comment likely from Jan Myhrvold:
In the court book of Fryksdals, Pentikäinen pops up on several occasions. Per Pentick is mentioned in Mangen (married there) in 1720 [but ... not in the transcribed marriages, only Per Persson and Marit Martensdotter, married 14 Apr 1717]. In 1732 you can read about "Finns Erik and Mattes Pentick" in Rattsjöberg. Pentick is a Swedish distortion of the Finnish family name Pentikäinen. In Fryksdals court from 1693 (ht. 38) and 1694 (v. 68) a Per Staffansson in Rattsjöberg is mentioned. We know that Staffan Pentikäinen had children of the same age as Per Pentikäinen in Rattsjöberg. It therefore seems very likely that the mentioned [in the court record] Per Staffansson was the same person as Per Pentikäinen, and son of Staffan and Annika. The Annika Mårtensdotter who died in 1707 in Rattsjöberg, 80 years old and widow, must have been Per's mother. Both Per Staffansson Pentikäinen in Rattsjöberg and Lars Staffansson Pentikäinen in Askosberget had daughters whom they called Annika (named after their grandmother). Source: Jan Myhrvold.

Note: my download that I have referred to as "Finnish Family Names" by Jan Myhrvold and Niclas Persson and
notes the family name, Pentikäinen at Multijarn as early as 1667-68. There are a number of people at Rattsjörberget, Mången, Åskosberget ... and into Norway

Has: Maria Larsdotter Porkka married to Per Pentikäinen [ probably Per Staffansson as indicated above by Jan M...]
and they had at least one son, Per Perssobn Pentikäinen - see the household records, etc below
as indicated in the

Conclusion: it is very likely that Maria Larsdotter Porkka was married to Per Staffansson Pentikäinen, but the person identified in Bo Brunzell's data who died in 1755 was a son, Per Persson Pentikäinen (1681-1755) and NOT the father
