Notes for father Kaartinen
from Kauko Juhani Kaartinen via e-mail:
The name Kardin, Cardin, Kaartinen comes from Gart, Garth, Gard or Gardh via ancient Denmark or Friesland. Kardin ancestors came to Finland with Danish or German ships before 1500; one Finnish professor found Kaartinen name in 16th century in Sääminki, Sulkava and Juva. His ancestor Heikki (Henrik) moved to Jaakkima in Karelia after the Stolbova peace of 1617. There are villages in that? area with names: Kaartilanniemi, Ranta-Kaartila, Kaartilankoski and Kaartilanmäki. It is unusual that the name has not changed over this long time period.
