Parish sources

Looking at the sources for the sentence "Pihtipudas was first mentioned in 1552 as Pictipudhas, when it was a part of the large Rautalampi parish. Along with Kannonkoski, Kivijärvi and Konginkangas, the area was transferred to the newly established Viitasaari parish in 1635." in the History section. According to Google Translate (not speaking the language) it seems that the source calls this city a "neighboring city" of the church, but not a member of the parish? (this link). I don't know if that implies it is a member of the parish in Finnish, but if it would be good to have a source explicitly stating that. Mrfoogles (talk) 00:09, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

@Mrfoogles: 'City' is problematic in Finnish, and often used for many small settlements that could be considered villages, both historically and in the present day. I've added the source to the original document from the National Archive []. Thanks for the input. Limelightangel (talk) 06:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, google actually translated it to "municipality", but that's interesting. Definitely a better source. Mrfoogles (talk) 14:02, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
