Jutikkalas

The Jutikkalas, also spelled as Jutikkala, refer to a family of Finnish historians and genealogists who are notable for their work in the field of family history and genealogical research in Finland. The Jutikkalas are from the Suomenlinna fortress in Helsinki, which was built by the Swedish military in the 18th century.

The Jutikkalas family's most famous member was Vilho Harva (1880-1931), a genealogist and historian who was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century Finnish historiography. Harva is known for his meticulous research and his ability to reconstruct the family histories of Finnish noble families. He was a pioneer in the field of Finnish genealogy and is still studied and respected today for his contributions.

A second prominent member of the family was C. Arvi Piippo (1902-1965), a historian and academic who made significant contributions to the study of Finnish history and literature. His work often intersected with that of the Jutikkalas family, particularly with regards to genealogical research and the study of Finnish nobility.

The Jutikkalas family's work focuses on the history of the Finnish nobility and middle-class merchants, and it emphasizes the importance of accurate family histories. Through the efforts of its members, the Jutikkalas have contributed significantly to the understanding of Finnish social and cultural history during the 18th and 19th centuries.
